Answer

I think it's always best if you try to learn it based on context, or how it's used in real life situations, so watching Korean media along with subtitles, or even webtoons (manhwa), which offer a better insight into how Korean is used colloquially may help!

Answer

I have a list of words in Spanish and English on the computer screen with a small program called 'Sticky Notes', on startup. Then I try and use the words in conversations.

Answer

Use flash cards and a spaced repetition system. This is the fastest way to learn new vocabulary. You can do this with paper, but it is much easier to use a program on your computer or smartphone.
