If you want to memorize anything better you have to practice it consistently. The brain remembers what it uses often, and forgets what it doesn’t use a lot. So, it would be best to practice every day; even just a few minutes is better than to try to study longer once per week. The brain likes fun and emotional things, so if I just repeat the meaning of each phrasal verb over and over trying to take in the information like a robot it won´t be effective. I need to try to learn each verb with phrases, never alone, which is boring and unnatural. I need to read sentences with the phrasal verbs and then do it by myself, writing other phrases and examples. The more emotional impact the sentence that I am creating as example in order to learn the verb has, the more effective it will be. The more relation the example I am creating has to me, my life, my world, or things I know or that interest me, the more effective again it will be. An impersonal, common, and boring example is useless because the brain doesn’t put its attention on it. The brain retains what is new, uncommon, strange, impactful or ridiculous. Another key is try to increase the contexts where you are learning the verb in as much as you can. If you learn a word by heart, and just use it in one context, or only in the context of the study, the brain doesn’t get in the habit of using it fluidly in other different contexts. So, I need to read examples of phrasal verbs on different internet pages, watch different videos of them, write different phrases by myself in a notebook, use them when I am writing or talking in English for anything other than just studying, and try not to be scared of committing mistakes. The last key is motivation, and to know this is not that difficult. So, let´s see how much I can advance with these tips and if I am able to do it well.
Just the beginning...
The moment has come to for me to face English phrasal verbs. I am tired about don’t of not being able to/It makes me sick that I don't understand so many of them when/whenever I see or listen hear them. I suppose think I have avoided the issue for a long time thinking believing that I would learn them in a natural way throughout the natural practice of English, but that doesn’t happen it's never happening, and I've to come to realize that I need to study them specifically systematically if I really want to master/harness dominate them. OK, so now, how shall I do it? The method is the key, the method is always very important. If I do it in a boring and tedious way, it will take me much longer rather than if I choose the right method.If you want to memorize anything better, you have to be constant and constantly practicing it. The brain remembers those things that are used often, and forgets those it doesn’t use a lot. So, it would be best if you practiced all the time, even just a few minutes every day is better than try to studying one day a week.

Hope this partial correction helps.
As much emotional impact has the sentence that I am creating as example in order to learn the verb, the more effective it will be. As much relation has the example I am creating with me, my life, my world, or things I know or interest me, the more effective again it will be. An impersonal, common, and boring example is useless because the brain doesn’t put his attention on it. The brain attends what is new, uncommon, strange, impact or ridiculous. Then, another key is try to generalize the context where you are learning the verb as much as you can. If you learn a word by heart, and just use it in one context, or only in the context of the study, the brain doesn’t get the habit to use it fluidly in other different contexts. So, I need to read examples of phrasal verbs in different internet pages, watch different videos of them, write different phrases by myself on a notebook, use them when I am writing or talking in English for anything different about just studying, and do it trying don’t be scared about commit mistakes.

Thanks for reading and for corrections.
The moment has come for me to face English phrasal verbs. I am tired of not understanding so many of them when I see or hear them. I suppose I have avoided the issue for a long time, thinking that I would learn them in a natural way through natural practice of English, but that isn't happening, and I realize I need to study them specifically if I really want to dominate them.
