𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘀 words are learnt through context
Adults know roughly 50,000 words nearly todas of which were learnt through context. The human brain is designed to learn words through context and that’s why we only need to read a word 12 times en context to have it forever. Stop memorising words from lists. Just because you know a word’s translation doesn’t mean you can hear and understand the word en context.
