Not really. Not exactly, rather. Disgust would be something like «фу, гадость». While to me ugh is more like «да блин». I can see why Beginner would feel that way after getting bogged down with all the new vocabulary items.

What does this sentence mean?. Do these words mean that people have their strangenesses?
I perceive, memorize information from paper books better than from a display. When the text goes up and then disappears (although, we can changhe the presentation style of the text), finally, I feel like the text disappears from my head as well. But when I read paper book and when I close it, I see the material item, something exsisting in reality, something pressed (compressed); I feel like the information saves in my head also like something compressed. I can also write by hand on pages, not typing.
It's just my subjective feelings.
But I think it is all just a matter of habit.

I thought if we can use "уф" and "фу" in Russian for expression satisfaction after hard work, then I can use "ugh" (фу) in my expression. It (ugh) would be correct if it related to "Now I should to search for the meaning of many new words", but "ugh" was related to "I've finished my second original English book" - that meant I am satisfied and glad despite the fact it wasn't very easy. Well, you guys - acapnotic and Victor - are right. What about Easy-Breezy opinion I don't know... . Hey, Easy-Breezy, you see - three men against one nice girl! Didn't your soul hurt? Isn't your soul wounded? ;)

Well, I'm not a particularly angry person, just an annoyed and exasperated one, so don't ask me. :-))))
Look, here's ugh:

The final dialouge from the movie "The Matrix: Revolution". Agent Smith taks with NEO (Mr.Anderson).
In my version, agent Smith taks with me (Mr.Beginner).
Agent Smith:
"Why Mr.Beginner, why are you still struggling? Why are you still learning English? There are thousands of collocations and tens of thousands of words in English - you will never study them all. And you will never speak like a native speaker. We machines are the truth (genuine) future of this Earth. Soon, very soon, machines replace all (the)interpreters, absolutely all! It's pointless - to learn English. So why, why are you still struggling Mr.Begginer?"
I am answering: "Because... m.m... , it's my choice... ."
:)
I have some doubts about how better to express the russian words "почему вы упорствуете?". Maybe "Why are you persisting in it? why do you persist (in it)? why do you still stubborn?".

Or persevere
Why are you..., you mean, stubborn being an adjective?
The verb "persist" collocates with the adverb stubbornly (or doggedly)--so you can say "Why do you persist in... so stubbornly?"
To persevere means to persist steadfastly (yet another adverb collocating with "persist"), whereas to persist just means to go on stubbornly or resolutely.
So, it's up to you which one to use depending on the degree of unwillingness to stop doing something:)
To me, persevere seems somewhat stronger than persist, though, MHO)

Beginner,
To further your English and with regard to your latest post, you might find helpful looking up the adjective "obstinate" and the adverb "obstinately".
Also, in dictionaries of collocations, you might find out which nouns the former and which verbs the latter collocate with.
