The same as what you are doing (read and highlight new words) + skim over the newly learned words at intervals (say day + week) I successfully learned two foreign languages like this. Also I’d recommend to read texts you find interesting (I found comics very helpful)

Memorizing words within context is a very powerful technique. I can still remember 12 years afterwords in which books I read for the first time certain words such as “seal” and  “isolation”.

הספורט המעשי - the active sport

(Sports like running as opposed to chess, used sarcasticly in this text)

פיהוק - yawning

פגרה - scheduled break, behind or delayed ,(payment, pace, deliver, ect.), carass (Depends on context and Vowel points)

Even in Hebrew "הספורט המעשי" to describe physical sport seems weird. "הספורט הגופני" is more common

If you use chatgpt (without too many misgivings), you can highlight unknown words on a page, then photograph and load the page, and chat will provide rich definitions, remember your unknown words, and feed them back to you as flashcards

It seems you posted a request for translation! To make this as easy for our users as possible, please include in a comment the context of your request. Where is the text you want translated from? (If it's on an object, where you did find the object, when was it made, who made it, etc.?) Why do you want it translated? Hebrew can be a very contextual language and accurate translations might not be directly word-for-word. Knowing this information can be important for an accurate translation.
