First of all, there should be a clear idea about the context. Meaning acquiring a language in a context where it is used as the first meduim of interaction is totally different from acquiring in a context where the language is considered as foreign or second language. As for the best way to build up english vocabulary is by reading books, novels, articles and newspapers with varying degree of difficulty. Individuals can also acquire vocabulary by literning to dialogues, music and natives speakers of the target language. Thus, by using and being exposed to the language daily, individuals will be to imporove both their linguistic competency and communicative skills at the same time. A Tip to Bear in Mind, Language is not about Memorizing words and expressions, it is about using them in the right context, in the right time and situation, with the right person (Pragmatics of language). 

  • Any answer to such Questions will never be finite or exact. Why !!!
  • Think about the fact that people are not the same in terms of ability, learning styles, past and present experinces, cognitive capacity and many other variables that affect directly or undirectly the degree and the amount of vocabulary being acquired.

Expose yourself to the language as much as you can, like:

1- Watch movies (using English Subtitles).

2- Chat/Speak with people/friends in English.

No one at the initial stages of the learning process, should ever be in a hurry of building up vocabulary. One is better off learning the basics of English without the burden of too many words, which are useless in this phase.

Once you have built a core, you can add up vocabulary. You should learn just enough vocabulary as to be proficient in the stage in which you are.

Example about fruits and veggies:

A2: apple, pear, water melon, date;

B2: apple cultivar, cider apple, seedling apple;

C2: pomaceous fruit, deciduous tree, pectin, amygdalin.

There is no need to know the word amygdalin (a chemical compound easily found in kernels and seeds of apple and other fruits) before to be fluent in English, as the knowledge of this word would be useless.

Then, you can put to use some Spaced Repetition methods. There is out there an incredible amount of tools to help you out on that:

Flashcards: Anki, Skritter and Memrise, to name a few;

Audio courses: Pimsleur;

Games: Duolingo, Busuu, Hello English.

All the above mentioned are online tools. But you can always work in the offline dimension by making yourself your own paper cards: on one side your target language, on the other your native language and playing back and forth.

These are methods, anyway, only methods. If you're learning English out of obligation instead of passion, those methods won't bring you far.
