I may do it the really hard way, but it seems to work for me. I look at the .pdf lists made for the vocab. And I read the first word and move on directly to the second word. I then try to recall the first word looking only at the meaning, if I can’t I go back and read it again. If I do remember it then I try to recall the second word looking only at the meaning. If I don’t remember it I go back to the first if I do I go on and read the third. Rinse and repeat…

I’ve found that by the time I make it to the end of the list I’ve reviewed all the earlier vocabulary so much that I only have a few vocabulary that are not stuck in memory. Once I can recite the whole list or only have to look at the meaning then I download and use the anki deck, and I make sure to go through the whole deck once. Then just review when anki tells you.

When I do this I feel like I know most of the vocabulary so well, because I’ve had to repeat most of them 15-20 times, that I have little to no trouble with the reviews. And the whole process only takes 30 minutes to an hour. I would say that’s a good investment for getting the vocab really stuck in your memory.
