If you do Anki a right way, you can do more than 88.88 new words a day, in less than 2-3 hours
(not counting preparing cards). Not sure whether it would be as easy with production cards
though...

Are you suggesting that a person can learn 88.88 new words per day, and keep this up every day for three months?

Either way, "knowing" 8000 words (or even 3000), and using them fluently are two different things.

Well, if you were to learn 89 words a day, then it would be harder, because you couldn't really
miss a day. But, learning a 100 or more, you can afford taking a day off every once in a while.
I'm not defending the "fluent in 3 months" thing though, just pointing out you can learn vocabulary
(at least passively, haven't tried learning it actively this quickly) a bit quicker than 20-30 words a
day. I'm not quite sure how much more effort you'd need to put in in order to get fluent with it.

I've been using Memrise for the past month. One unit has five words, I do five units more or less every day (some exceptions), and add everything to Anki. My esperanto deck usually has some words, but assume that at least ~15 words are added each time. So far 278 new cards since late September. I doubt that I'll keep adding words up to 8000 - let alone 3000 - but so far, I haven't been anywhere close to a burnout.
