    As a French speaker I was so surprised when you said English isn't your first language!! I could barely tell that you weren't a native speaker. And for a French native speaker, mastering the English accent like that is even more impressive.

    In deep level of mental processing part, avoiding recognition itself, and instead, checking the definition/translation of the word in a preffered language and then trying to recall the exact word in a target language make a lot of sense.Because when you are writing or speaking(most difficult parts) the words are not actually gonna pop into your head out of nowhere.You will recall them first by its purpose and function in a sentence, then its definition and then the desired word.

    I used to create my own flashcards in BrainScape but it definitely consumed a lot of time - not 15 minutes a day. And this is not time learning but just labouring creating flashcards. Pretty soon one learns them and has to create another deck. Premade packs never worked as well, however - they often lacked good descriptions or other components that would help me and make any card unique.

    Unfortunately, academic institutions in most countries don't apply any science-based language learning methods. Like, I know many people who learned a language for years at school/college/university, but after finishing there, they didn't have any ability to use this language practically.

    I learned Japanese in university and I was taught by throughly scientific methods and the criticism that universities ignore scientific methods of language teaching is an Internet myth. Everyone I know who speaks Japanese at my level, C2, in European parlance, is the product of a university program like I went through.

    I have a question. I know you said that it is best to study the vocabulary every day. What about spacing repetition? Should I still do spacing repetition of I'm looking at the vocabulary every day. It's not vocabulary for a new language. I just want to build up my English vocabulary for writing. I was also going to try keyword method too. It's a method where you link the vocabulary word to a image.

    If you're at c2 im English there is no chamce you can forget it. I suggest spending a little time per day on very hard material like a difficult novel. This will give you a high density of challenging words compared to other material so you don't have to spend as much time studying. That will give you more time to learn French. On another note, learning French will probably improve your English because 30-60% of English words come from French depending on how you count it so you will be improving your English as you learn French; you will get a deeper knowledge of the roots and etymology of most Emglish words.

    I haven't played around with Anki tons but it seems like the process of making cards WITH pronunciation and visuals is very difficult. I've been studying French for a while and I've learned that, for French especially, without those 2 items plus gender, it's essentially pointless. But then each card seems like a huge hurdle to make. If there was a way to automatically make the cards I want (not some list of 1000 words) am studying, that would be great. But I can't find that program

    Being an Anki user what I do is that I use a plug-in in Anki that allows me to highlight a word (with the mouse) and then directly search for this word pronunciation from forvo in my target language and download directly that pronounciation into the flashcard I'm creating in one click. It works like a charm.
