Understand the method in order to set realistic expectations! You’re not supposed to memorize whole sentences, but phrases at most, usually words. And even that doesn’t happen instantaneously. Some words will stick to your mind at once, some after a night of sleep, some after some repetition.
Stick with your daily exercise and you’ll be surprised to see how words pop up in your mind all of a sudden, when you weren’t even trying to recollect them!
If you manage to memorize 8-10 words a day, you can already be happy. This applies to any source of vocabulary, not only to this course.
In order to achieve upper-intermediate fluency you need about 3,000 words. Believe it or not, you can get there in less than a year!
