Good luck with the 5 words a day thing! I’m thinking of doing something similar for my Dutch study.
While it might be really time-consuming, it’s worth adding an example or two of your words in use. I personally find it easier to learn words in context rather than just the word and its English translation. If you plan to do 5 words a day, though, this might take up too much time….

Funny, that’s how I studied English: reading US and UK newspapers and making endless lists of words. And they weren’t even homework – I was such a nerd!
(Good list btw, learnt something too)

Kelly: Yeah, I may end up giving a sentence for each word. That would make the lists more useful for others. It actually wouldn’t take much extra time, because I’m getting all of the words from stuff I’m reading / listening to.
Nils: You still ARE a nerd, my friend.

Back to that example sentence idea…
I find it really handy to use Google searches for finding good example sentences.
