Hi. You can learn English vocab free online.This website has themed units with pictures and sound, English games and free English lessons for beginners www.learnenglish.de/ In order to build your English vocabulary you can follow 2 methods. First is the repetition-based method, where you learn English words by writing them several times or saying them repeatedly until you remember them all. If you patiently follow the process, you will see your vocabulary extended very well. Secondly, you also need have to have a notebook with your own note-taking rules. Each time you log onto Italki, note down any new words in the Questions and Answers section. The only problem is whether you want a rich vocabulary or not. Your plan should answer 4 questions. 1.How many words will you learn a week: 5, 10, 15 or more? 2. When will you learn them? Every other morning or anytime you feel like learning? 3. How often will you review what you have learnt: weekly, monthly or before a test ? 4. What areas of English will you focus on? Sports, music, games or sciences? The answers may vary a great deal from one person to another depending on memory, schedules and interest. You can gain a big vocabulary and improve your English by simply by determining what field of words to learn, making a plan of learning, choosing a learning method and regularly practising your plan and method. Daily vocab learning is better than weekly or monthly. Remember your vocab by drawing a small a picture next to it.For example, for the phrase "make up" draw a small coloured picture of a woman's face with lipstick, eye shadow and mascara. "Make up" also means to make friends again after an argument so you need to draw 2 people shaking hands underneath your first picture. Good luck.

Read--classic novels. And when you do--be sure not to use a dictionary (Yes--NOT to!) for as long as you possibly can. Just get a general sense of what the author is trying to convey (at first), then perhaps go back a second time try to work the whole puzzle in (piece by piece). This worked miracles for me--you won't be needing to memorize each individual vocabulary one by one--it's boring and hurting (in the long run). It's really fun "guessing" at those meanings--not to mention it's also a good way in terms of tuning/honing up your intuitive insights (on languages) too (sort of in a sixth sense way).

To keep continue reading books which you intersted in is the best way to built your vocab. If the book is bit hard to even look through it, then you'd be better to choose easier one. I bet! Good luck!!

By reading English magazines and books,and highlight the new words you come across,and review them from time to time. A fast way to build your vocabulary is to recite a vocabulary book everyday,and review them. But only if you can stick to it will you success in the end~
