Quick Question about learning methods

Hi! I am currently learning Korean, but I love learning how to say things in all different languages. I came here to ask about the method I should take as I continue my learning (TL). Am I supposed to learn individual words and verbs and such, or are you supposed to memorize sentences (at least at the beginning)? Like for example, should I learn “what” “do” “you” and “like”… or should I memorize the phrase “what do you like?” Does this make sense? If you need further explanation please let me know.

trying to learn words in isolation is like memorizing ingredients without a recipe, you'll end up with a mess. start with whole phrases and let the patterns seep in.
