Default Problem with phrasal verbs

Hi,
Now, it's nine years I start to learn English. It's my introducing. I find out in English are using a phrasal
verbs a lot. And this is my problem. I tried learn them
but it's too much. Exist some instructions: How to create
these words? It's too hard to remember it.
e.g.: set off
set on
set out
set in
bring out
bring in
bring off
bring around
make out
make up
make off
make round
find out
put off
put on
put across
put over
put down
...............and a lot lot lot lot lot

I don't know to remember meaning of these phrases. Is here some "manual" to creating them?

Hi, Lucas,
It's hardly possible to learn all of them the way you learn a rhyme. How, then? - Slowly and painfully, through reading and speaking practice.
Best wishes!
