There are many ways in which you can broaden your vocabulary. Reading is one very simple way of doing it. You will encounter more words through reading. Take note of those which are unfamiliar then look it up in the dictionary. If you cannot understand a certain word, you can take it in its context or how it is used in the sentence. You can use context clues by checking the accompanying words which may provide you with a hint.
You can also take note of the roots or origin of the words. The prefixes can also give you an idea regarding the definition of the unfamiliar words. Use the new words as often as possible so that it will not be forgotten. One thing very important though, do not try to learn everything all at once. Enjoy the learning process.
