I have a downloadable listing of principal parts of the irregular verbs in
Mounce in PDF form at:

http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~cwconrad/docs/IrregularVerbsMounce.pdf

Included are the roots of these verbs; I'd suggest learning the roots and
relating these verbs, so far as possible, to nouns, adjectives, etc.
derivative from the same roots.
