The best way to improve your vocabulary is reading about things you like, be it fashion, mechanics, comic books, etc. 

Reading for pleasure makes you remember and look up words in the dictionary. It is all about positive association! Learning is best when it is enjoyable.

Hallo there! 

 

Honing one's vocabulary requires that he/she "falls in love with English dictionaries," LISTEN to English attentively (bbclearningenglish.com) , READ appropriate self-study books such as "English Vocabulary in Use" and/or short stories/novels and WRITE short paragraphs utilising the lexis you have learned. 

 

All the best! :)
