Increasing of vocabulary Hello! I need help ! I have been learning English pretty long, but i don't understand how to make my skills more advanced. How do you increase your vocabulary if you are middle or upper middle level ? I just think reading of book is great idea, but it's really taking a lot time. When you only start learning of any language you enhance your vocabulary very fast but after it the progress reduce and finally it's stopping( to be honest progress increase but really slowly). How many words do you need to know that you will confident in your vocabulary? I think the question is addressed to teachers or people who had already learnt English. PS: I have passed a test on this site( testyourvocab.com), my score is about 7 000. I think it's not true, I guess my really score is lower than that one, so I have doubts.
