Anki (SRS) doesn't teach me words. I've tried it. If I didn't know "plui" meant "rain" when Anki asked me on Monday (along with asking me 20 other words), I still don't know when Anki asks me on Tuesday (along with asking me 20 other words).
Anki does exactly what SRS was designed to do: help you remember (for longer) an item of information you already know. It does not (and wasn't designed to) teach you that item.
So how do people learn words in the first place? From what I've read, they just see the word on an Anki flashcard and magically know it. There is never a description of how they learned it. Is learning a new word so easy that it isn't worth mentioning? What am I missing here?
