For language learning I find that using longer phrase fragments is better than single words.

If the phrases are found by yourself in context from your own exposure to the language, it is even better.
I got introduced to this idea a few years ago from AJATT [1] and my personal experience is that it works very well.

The advice with gendered languages is to always learn the word alongside some context that includes its gender, e.g. "Der Tisch" (The masculine table) rather than merely "Tisch->Table".
