I would suggest finding something you enjoy watching/listening to and try to get your hands on the English version.
For example: video games or sport events you enjoy. Just listening to the English commentary helps a lot.

I can suggest three "fun" ways to do so! How much fun you have depends on how excited you are about the language, of course.
1.) Pick a completely unfamiliar word from the native-language's dictionary and memorize the definition. Then, try to use it in as many conversations as you can for the rest of the day/week (however long it takes you to feel comfortable.) Try searching for the word online and see how other people use it, and see if you can think of other words that can replace it.
2.) Take a fully-translated text and reword it. Use a dictionary or thesaurus to find similar words and see how the text reads after you're done. Decide which version sounds better, more natural, to you.
3.) Find a word or phrase that you like, for any reason that you like it. Maybe it looks nice written down, or it sounds funny when you pronounce it, or maybe you just like the definition. Write in a journal about the word and include why you like it, where it originated from, as well as how other sources use it. Include as many different uses of the word as you can and then use it in a unique way you have not read.
Despite the work involved, you might catch yourself having fun learning the new words which will, in turn, make expanding the vocabulary even easier and fun. Once you start drawing connections between words you know and words you're using, you'll find similarities that makes other words less alien.
