How to actually learn them

These attach to objects you can see. Naming the things in your own flat as you pass them is the cheapest review there is.

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.
