How Many Sentences should I learn?

hi I am currently learning Chinese, I have been farting around with a few different anki decks for a while and have learnt maybe 75 words of usefully vocabulary and probably 200 words of virtually pointless words. for a while I was doing an "80/20" style approach based off this https://tim.blog/2014/03/21/how-to-learn-a-foreign-language-2/ but I heard it was better to learn with sentences so I am using this https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/867291675. my worry is that I will spend longer with sentences and get less return on time invested as opposed to the 1000 most common words which make up 90%+ of the spoken language. what would the better thing to do be words or sentences? and if sentences how can I "80/20" it for maximum results with as little time as possible?

all answers are much appreciated thanks!
