There's no shortcut / time-efficient way to learn new words.In my experience, these three steps help improve your vocabulary:Read, read, and read some more...Write, blog, and tweetRepeat dailyReading: I'm constantly amazed at times when I pull the right word to express a situation which may have been lodged in my mind, because I read it in multiple contexts while reading a book or an article.Dictionaries do not work, cos they are not good at providing perspective and context to words (see Justin Stone's answer above). Reading good writing (novels from the greats - Ernest Hemingway (author), Fyodor Dostoyevsky (author), articles from good journals - The New York Review of Books, good quality of daily reading - The New York Times, etc.) is a necessary prerequisite that will help you imbibe the meaning of words in their true setting.And, do this every single day. File away interesting articles on Instapaper so you can read on the subway, buy the classics on your Amazon Kindle (product) for reading during the weekend. Do whatever you can to get a hold of beautiful writing, and keep reading. Kindle's dictionary allows you to pull up the meaning of any word right on the page you're reading. Very helpful.Once you find a novelist you admire, find all of her works and devour them.Writing: Practice makes perfect. I've found that blogging helps unravel the words now stuck in my mind through reading and helps me use them appropriately. Twitter sharpens your articulation by forcing you to be succinct and elegant in your writing, within the 140 character limit. Application (Doh!) is a necessary pre-requisite to owning new words you've read.And, keep doing it. There are no shortcuts to acquiring a vocabulary. It comes with an innate desire and loads of practice.
