[Help] Suggestions for Learning Vocabulary

Hello,
(This post is kind of long, so I hope you will bear with me)
Until recently, I have been making vocabulary lists using jisho.org and Microsoft Word. I would copy the word and definitions in this way:
Word (In Kanji, with the furigana on top). Type of word (Expression, colloquialism, adj-i, etc.). The definition.
If the word is a verb, I put down whether it is transitive or intransitive, and also colored it purple or green to indicate whether it is a ru or u verb.
I was satisfied with this method for a little while, but I started to feel that it was too inefficient and time consuming. So I started to use Kantango. If you don't know what that is, it is a site that allows you to use a built-in dictionary to find words and make word lists. You can also quiz yourself with the nice option of changing the words into flashcards. Unfortunately, it is a little vague with definitions and it has less words than jisho.org. Also, it takes a very long time to add words, and I am not running on a slow connection. Last, but not least, I can't use the "Find" option to quickly check if I had already added a word.
I am thinking about going back to using my old method of Microsoft Word + jisho.org, but I was wondering if anyone has a better idea.
Thank you for taking the time

There's some other things you can maybe try out that I know about. I dont have enough posts yet to add URLs but the website is called flashcardmachine, its an online website based flashcard maker, also you can look at other peoples flashcards. There's also a program you can download called Anki which is another flashcard thing. I've tried them both but I personally tend to prefer real life flashcards and found that it helps me more. Hope that helps.

I can give you a couple of self-made lists. I say they're decent. How about a peek?
