It also seems to have some context with whether or not it is in an edible state. You bake dough > Turns to bread (food product on its own) > you roast (toast) bread - all based on your understanding.
I would love to be a polyglot, sadly, the only thing besides english I “speak” are scripting languages - and that was hard fought knowledge.
Or perhaps if there’s some underlying transformation? Because technically dough is as edible as raw meat - you can eat both, you’d probably survive, but it’s better to eat it cooked. Dunno, sometimes the “boundaries” between words are rather fuzzy.

To learn a language is easier but more laborious than people take it for. There’s a lot of dumb memorisation, specially when it comes to the vocabulary. Because of that I guess that the best tip that I can give you, in this regard, is to find a purpose for your prospective language, something that makes you say “I need to learn [language] because [reason]”. The reason can be as silly as you want for the others, but it needs to be serious for you.
