You have to use the words yourself, whether that be in writing or in speech. That will help a lot.

one useful exercise is to create a word list and then write something that uses all the words in the list. when acquiring new words make sure you understand their context.

Talk more. I had a decent vocab before I even started reading because I would always try to use most of the new words I learned. Talking to yourself does actually work for this purpose.

1. Read more. 2. Read dictionaries. There are several types, etymological ones can be useful. You could also look at dictionaries of slang such as urbandictionary.com, or neologisms. Also, check out samuel Johnson's dictionary, its its beautifully crafted.

BPD and ecstasy
Conceited with low self-esteem
She's a teenage dream if you hate yourself
Bright dyed hair and obnoxious clothes
Thinks communism is the way to go
She's a whore, a hole, a dime-a-dozen Jezebel
Fluored mind and SSRIs
A thousand yard stare for all those guys
That she fucked and sucked before you came along
Retarded views on politics
Likes to listen to shitty music
She drinks and smokes and tokes out of a dirty bong
She saw Ramona Flowers
And felt so empowered
By a movie made
In Hollywood
It's sad to think she's someone's daughter
Like a lamb to the slaughter
But honestly I'd still hit if I could
BPD and ecstasy
Thirty years old, but acts like she's sixteen
Likes to go to shows 'cause she's so fucking cool
Bright dyed hair but dead inside
Plan-B…

Write the words you don't understand/find interesting as you are reading in a notebook. Then, every once in a while, write a poem(that rhymes) using as many of those words as you possibly can. Try making a good poem with a good rhythm. I don't know how to explain it, but the poems I write usually stay in my head for longer, and sometimes just by taking a long time to write them you memorize them without even trying.

I discovered this "method" accidentally and it really works. I learned a lot of Italian vocabulary by just listening to Fabrizio De André's songs, which goes to show you how poetry works differently in your brain.
