100% agree with this. In the early phases (in my experience) encountering of new word drastically outpaces your ability to do flashcards. And this is fine! Then, as you progress, you don't don't need to review every damn flashcard because it's way more basic than the level you're at.

This is is one of the primary reasons why I think SRS is not more widely adopted for languages, the other being that most people will never go through the effort to learn why and how they should do it.
