What are your thoughts on the Fluent Forever method, specifically the part that going through the effort of creating your own study materials is an integral part of recall and internalizing new words/knowledge? It's definitely attractive to have a lot of the "manual work" be automated, but maybe it's a necessary effort to cross the chasm that is intermediate language learning and perhaps most people stay at intermediate levels not because of the lack of a tool but because there's a natural filter with how much effort is required to go from intermediate to fluent.

I've been "stuck" in intermediate Japanese for years now after being on and off multiple times. Got to 1.2k kanji, "ok" grammar and ~3k vocab words. Perhaps something like this is what's needed. I've been wanting an "instructor" that can do this sort of indexing for all sorts of content like TV shows, movies, books, articles, etc.
