What's the point of learning the whole dictionary?
Those words you quoted are of no particular use.
As an experienced english learner I advise you that you learn how to deal with more simple words. :)

I think there is no need to learn the whole dictionary. Even if you have a great wish you can't do it. In order to learn new English words just read the dictionary and choose those words you use in your everyday life. You can write a post telling us about the words you have chosen and we'll make up sentences with them. :D

The main hatch is abaft the funnel.
