How to improve my vocabularies?
I found a list of vocabularies that are suggested on some website. I Have tried to remember them everyday, at least ten words a day but I do not have any chance to use those words in everyday life. How can I actually know which words I really need and how can I bring them out from my memory. Those words seem to disappear from my memory after a week or so. Does anyone have another way to improve your vocabularies?

How to improve my vocabulary (singular form when referring to your own word collection)?
I found several a list of vocabularies (here you are referring to separate lists, so plural is ok) that are suggested on some websites. I Have tried to remember memorise them every day (everyday as a single word is an adjective) , at least ten words a day but I do not have any chance to use those words in everyday (yes! this is the adjective!) life. How can I actually know which words I really need, and how can I recall bring them out from my memory when they are needed? Those words They just seem to disappear from my memory after a week or so. Does anyone have another way to improve your their vocabularyies (again, you are talking about individuals and their singular vocabulary)?
1. Record the word and the translation in your personal dictionary on computer
2. Find examples of sentences in which the words are used. Record those in the dictionary
3. Hand-write the examples too, and speak them aloud
4. Make up a nonsense story using all the words you want to learn, each day
5. Speak the words in your mind, visualise them, as you walk to work or on the bus ... try not to move your lips or people will think you are crazy
6. Research the words by looking for synonyms in an online thesaurus
7. Look for the origin, and look for phrases where it occurs
8. Revise, review, re-use and repeat

For improving my vocabulary, I really like using Quizlet.com
Maybe you've seen it before, since it's very popular with foreign language students in the U.S. It is a great resource as it lets you learn vocabulary in a fun way, through games, quizzes, etcetera. You can enter your own vocabulary or search on topics that you are interested in :)

Instead of memorizing, read and look up words you don't know. Then you will see how they are used in a sentence and learn a new word. I think it makes learning a language more enjoyable. Good luck!

Use the words to write sentences. This will help you to become familiar with the words.
