In that case, sticking with a premade Anki deck would likely be more effective for that amount of time.

Such is the nature of language learning. It's not really sexy or fun to study vocab or shadow along to something you're watching for the 10th time. I see language learning exactly the same as working out- it's just a lot of consistent hard work over years. ;-)
This is a game that I enjoy playing. I have never tracked how long I take. Many days, I do only a single lesson. That's less than 5 minutes, sometimes less than 3.
I'm not trying to be fluent. I'm not really _trying_ to achieve anything. The closest I have to a goal is that I enjoy having another language's vocabulary that I can use when speaking around my children.
