English colours, numbers and time
All 50 words, each with its pronunciation and a sentence it appears in.
Colours, numbers, days and times are the closed sets of a language — there are only so many of them, they almost never change, and you need every one.
This is the exact english colours, numbers and time set the LearnScreen app reviews — every word with its pronunciation and a sentence it appears in — so nothing here is a sample of something larger you have to pay to see.

How to actually learn them
A finite list is the easiest kind to finish. Most people can hold the whole set after a week of short reviews.
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 which words to learn first and how many words you need to speak a language.
Let the list come to you
