How to actually learn them
Learn the request forms, not only the nouns — "could I have" carries more weight than "towel".
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
