It's not just an idea, I've used it to learn about 2000 Hebrew words, albeit in a somewhat different form and along with other methods/materials. I'm a somewhat experienced language learner. I'm fully aware that words have multiple meanings but that's not as problematic as you think. A lot of distinct meanings of "run" are related, so it's not like you need to memorize every one individually. Besides, they aren't all equally important. In many cases, those different meanings are paralled in my native language (or another language I know), e.g you can translate "run" as "correr" in "he runs", "the river runs..." and "they ran the risk...". More to the point, I always study words in context. In this method the context is provided by the rest of the sentence.
