What's the best way to expand your vocabulary other than reading a lot?

Whenever you see or hear someone use a word you’re unfamiliar with search up the word on Google, read the definition, and keep the tab open until you feel you’ve learned the word. Do this with every new word you come accross and revisit the tabs every now and then to reinforce your memory on the words so you don’t forget so easily.

You can buy vocabulary trainers; books, CDs etc. Probably channels on youtube dedicated to it now. You'll be a vomiting thesaurus in no time.
