Hello, everybody!

Lately, I've been studying a lot of vocabulary but I have a pretty big problems with some of the sentences I've been "adding" to my paper deck.
Like I said, my translation teacher gave me lists of vocabulary to learn. The words are very interesting--chatter, chink, jangle, pop, etc... with example sentences. However, some of the example sentences contain mistakes or sound unnatural. Most of the sentences sound just fine but I can't risk learning SRS items that aren't written in perfect English.

I can't seem to find example sentences that are as good as the one that are given in the book which is another problem. I looked the vocabulary up in tons of learner's dictionaries but I didn't find anything that I liked. The chapter my teacher gave us is extracted from a book that's out-of-print and supposedly very useful for students of English who want to learn more about movement/ light/ sounds.

I found another book at the library which briefly deals with these topics, but it's in no way as complete as the one I have to study for the translation class.

What should I do? I have limited time and I already spent 10+ hours making flashcards out of this book, only to discover that some of the content I copied contains mistakes...

I'm only halfway done with the "sounds" list and I need to finish making flashcards out of it and learning it because words that are related to sounds are very important in English.

I tried asking for feedback on the sentences on lang-8, but that didn't work very well. I rarely post on lang-8 and most of the people who used to help me out lost interest in my entries.

Also, should I post some of the vocabulary items on Rhinospike? My main issue with pronunciation is intonation. I can't seem to get it down for some reason and I guess having native speakers record sentences for me would be good (even if my pronunciation of the sounds of English is fine.)
