When I do my daily exercises on Duolingo I make a list of the words. I used to write them in alphabetical order on each notebook page for myself, Then I wrote the words in a blog posts which I have done alphabetically below for the convenience of myself and you.
Later I started keeping the lists in my notebook, noting the numbers of words per page. My A notebooks have 25 lines per page.Each A5 notebook has more than 150 pages. I will have pages for an index and other useful information, and other languages. After a while, the words are repeated. This is not a waste of space. I need to repeat the words so that I remember them.
If you are on Duolingo, it gives you a reminder of the number of words you have learned in each section. It tells you that you have learned or ten new words, completed a certain number of exercises with 80% accuracy.
Some people find this irrtating. You might find it irritating at first. Then you realise that you need the motivation to keep going. The encouragemnt helps. Some features can be turned off or modified.
For example, you might be unable to speak in a public place, on a train. Background noise might step the system from hearing you speak and registering correctly. The system allows you to click on the words informing it that you are unable to speak, so it moves on.
You can catch up later by doing an exercise which is entirely or mostly devoted to listening or speaking.
