Language / How can I tell which conjugation group a verb ending in ~eć belongs to? [18]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to learn polish on my own, and I thought grammar would be a good place to start. I was looking at conjugation tables link I found on wikipedia, and I saw that rozumieć belongs to the 2nd group, but posmutnieć belongs to the 3rd group.

It confuses me that they have the same ending. How can I know which group a verb ending in ~eć belongs?

I'm trying to do that. So far I have been learning words and some phrases. However, learning with this approach seems very mechanical to me, and I feel that I will never be able to speak correctly ( no Polish person will be able to understand me ) unless I have a feel about correct grammar.

Do you guys think I should continue learning words and try to use them without learning conjugation properly? How did you guys did it?
