What I do is try to put words in categories and I also try to search for synonyms For example once I came across the word "bob" and I was like... bob? isn't that a name?. The first time I looked it up on the dictionary and it said among other definitions "To move up and down" and "tap" so I said Ok so it's a kind of movement and it also could be a synonym for tap. At firs I just remembered that it was related to movement and little by little after using the word and seeing it sometimes I could correctly describe that the movement was "up and down". That's how I do it with almost every new word. If you also use the words you're trying to learn to express yourself I think you will remember them faster

i dont care!!! hehe

Aside from reading, familiarize yourself with such words through the speaking it and listening to how english is really spoken ^^ Using all of your senses to help you get through the language barrier is/could be/most probably be the most efficient way of gaining more knowledge and fluency in the English language ^^ (just like any other language haha~) Do not watch but SEE Do not hear but LISTEN Do not touch but FEEL Do not talk but COMMUNICATE Have a good day! ^^
