How to actually learn them
Pleasant to learn and easy to practise, because every word has a photograph attached to it by the end of the trip.
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
LearnScreen blocks the apps you keep opening and shows one of these Chinese words instead. Answer it and the app opens. The 50 words above are already in it.
