You must learn by using, by doing something with them. Make lists; group them by common concept, core word, or part of speech. Create mental associations as mnemonic devices.

Ok, I read Oxford Idioms and Oxford Phrasal verbs. There are more than 6000 phrasal verbs. I need the fastest way to learn them. I started to memorizing them but it's very hard. Learning by reading sentences will have been taking so much time to learn all. Is there any other remedy????

I don't believe you read my post. I did not say read a textbook or try to memorize them. Those antiquated, ineffective methods. There is no shortcut to language fluency.
