How to actually learn them

Worth learning before you need it, which is the whole argument for learning it deliberately.

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.

Let the list come to you
