How to actually learn them
The phrases that buy you time — "let me come back to that" — are worth more than any single noun here.
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.
