@ANSWER110,
Are you a native speaker of English?

If you've read many books then there has been an affect, A110.

Expanding one's vocabulary doesn't mean that you become at once, a voluble thesaurus. The vast majority of everyone's vocabulary is passive. We get by on a fairly limited active vocabulary.

@ANSWER110,
what ways have you tried and what books have you read?

The Reader's Digest has an Increase Your Word Power that you might look at. Or simply get a thesaurus and look up words you already know to find synonyms and antonyms, etc.

@ANSWER110,
Okay, then, A110.

Next step; do you use a bilingual dictionary when you read and come across a new word or do you use an English only dictionary?

Do you want to boost your active vocabulary or your passive vocabulary?

@ANSWER110,
Get a dictionary and read. If you run across a word that you can't guess the meaning of more than three times, look it up. If you see it again, and don't remember what it means, look it up again.

This would help if A110 lives in a country where English is spoken.

@JTT,
There are English- language Toastmasters' groups in cities with large English-speaking ex-pat communities. It's a good idea crazybill's presented.

A110 - do you have access to BBC English-language radio programming?

@ehBeth,
If I left the impression that I was dumping on CB's idea, let me say I wasn't. It would be a grand idea, one of the best. Nothing is better for acquiring language than real life contact with it.
