How to actually learn them
Precision matters more here than anywhere else on this site, which is why the example sentence is doing real work.
Reading a list is not learning it. A word needs roughly eight to twelve spaced recall attempts before it stays, which is why the useful question is not how many words to read but how many times you need to meet a word and how to space the reviews.
