When learning Russian vocabulary, be sure to follow this simple rule! Always write down the words that you`re willing to remember both in nouns and verbs (if possible). You will become 2 times more effective when learning Russian! Here`s an example: If you write down the word "Работа - Work", don`t hesitate to add "Работать - to work". Both words have the same root, so it`s not going to be much harder to learn these 2 very familiar words, which relate to different parts of speech. Make the time you spend on language learning to be more effective! Good luck!
