Any vocabulary lists?
Actually my first question is, where is the search button? There used to be a way to search your answer in already answered questions, and I cannot find it anymore. (Needless to say, I wanted to search in the answered questions first, to see if somebody has mentioned this topic before...)
Then my main question is: Do you know any good websites, where there is a web interface that helps you to memorize word lists. And even better, where you can use other people their word lists, so you do not have to type them in yourself.
I know this site www.wrts.nl, but first it's Dutch only, and second, you cannot browse in other people their lists.

Quizlet (as Mojave mentioned before) is good one - it allows importing and exporting lists to files, copy others' lists to yourself and edit it (if needed) and play games (drag and drop and typing words).. There is also Text-To-Speech engine included, so you can listen pronunciation of words.
I used it a lot, but now I have moved to http://www.memrise.com - the functionality is not that great (cannot import/export, cannot copy and edit others' lists), but it allows you to make memorizing tips for every word to learn - which is, good imagination given, can help way better than constant practice - if you reduce practice then words will fade out from memory, but if you make a mnemonics then whenever you see a words you learned and made really good mnemo tip, then you can easily remember the meaning of the word
let me give you an example - let's say I see a new word 물다 (to bite), so I try to make a mnemo tip that can remind me the meaning (bite) out from compounds of the word or its sound or its similarity to other word - this one is easy - 물 means water, so I wrote this: if a dog bites you and doesn't loose its jaws, the only way to get rid of the dog is to throw a very cold water on it - and then I make "bites" underlined and "water" bold.. like that :)
