What kind of vocabulary and words learn in english?
I am enjoying learning English a lot. I read and watch all I can regarding this language: Newspapers, Youtube, whatsapp etc. and see a big difference between formal expressions and coloquial expressions. Then a question arises: Should I speak with a formal or informal style? Many people say it is better to speak informally because this is the more natural, common way that English is spoken. But I am not so sure: What if I have a important meeting related to my job, and I started speaking with words that those executive mendo not understand? I would feel so uncomfortable!
Mi consejo que he escuchado de otros.
1. Aprende con un estilo un poco formal. No uses las grandes palabras, pero habla una minima de jerga. No estaras avergonzado con sus jefes.
2. Como tus conocimientos crecen, puedes anadir la jerga. Cuando un extranjero, ingles, espanol, cualquier, hable la jerga, tiene que estar absolutamente seguro que esta usandolo correctamente. De otra forma, hay un riesgo de una mala situacion.

How can I improve my English vocabulary?
I do enjoy learning English a lot. I have been diligently reading and watching anything that is in this language: reading English newspapers and watching the content in YouTube that is in English, etc., besides using WhatsApp to communicate in the language. From what I have gathered is that there is a big difference between English expressions that sound formal and those that are purely colloquial. A doubt then raised in my mind: "Should I learn to speak formally or informally ?" Many people have told me to learn to speak the language in a informal way, because that is how its normally spoken nowadays. But I am not so sure about that. What if I were to have an important meeting in the course of my job ? Would it be alright for me then to speak to those in the meeting informally? How would they think of me? I would probably embarrassed myself more than anything else.

I agree with Amanda. I think that having a good level in a language means you can handle yourself in both formal and informal situations. Because a lot of people study from textbooks, I think most people learn a more formal English first, but that isn't always true. If you focus on learning all areas of the language, over time you will be able to recognize formal English compared to informal English. You're in the right place to learn, and writing is great practice, so keep up the good work Juan Carlos.
