What's the best way to learn phrasal verbs definitely? Memorizing it or...??
Each phrasal verb means something totally different depending on the preposition, even with the smallest change. In your opinion, do you think it's basically a matter of practicing it?

Sticky notes or just a notebook with the verbs. Before you do the task, think of what you are doing. Example: "Today I am going to run." Read it out and perform the task. Its more like memorizing, but then again you have to remember the words to use them. Good luck.

Yes, how right you are! Personally, I would remember them from a sentence where they are used correctly. That means memorising the whole sentence.

Along with the other suggestions, I have found that many of my students improve their use of phrasal verbs simply by immersing themselves in language.
Almost every newspaper article or website that you read will contain phrasal verbs - and you can often work out the meaning from the context so you begin to learn what sounds natural.
Similarly, practising speaking with a native, or listening to English language podcasts or TV shows helps you familiarise yourself with the correct way to use these phrases.
Overall it always comes down to memorising them - but different techniques help to make the information stick in your head.

One of the alternative approaches to the traditional method of learning the phrasal verbs is memorizing them by meaning of last part of the phrasal verb, like:
save up, speak up, cheer up, give up, use up, tidy up.
That is, we learn the basic meanings of a particle (an adverb or / and a preposition) and try to intelligently predict new meanings of different verbs when this particle is added to them.
For example, the basic meaning of the particle "up" are 1-"to increase" and 2-"to complete".
So the phrasal verbs in the meaning:
1. for "up" = "to increase":
"save up" = to collect money (=to have more money);
"speak up" = to speak more loudly;
"cheer up" = to become more cheerful;
2. for "up" = "to complete":
"give up" = to stop doing (quit);
"use up" = to finish (a supply); to exhaust;
"tidy up" = to put things in order (=to bring full order)
Such a meaningful approach to memorizing phrasal verbs will help not only easier to memorize them, but also to understand the general patterns of the formation of phrasal verbs.
After all, the British can easily take and form a phrasal verb which in principle has never even existed.
And understanding the general principles of formation, we can in some cases predict the meaning of an unfamiliar phrasal verb.

To me it's learning or memorising all together : verb+ preposition.
