In what way will you learn new words?
Read, read, and read.
The more you read -- especially novels, but also magazines and newspapers -- the more words you'll learn. As you read and uncover new words, try to work out the meaning from the sentence as well as from looking up the definition in a dictionary.
What is the fastest way to learn a lot of new words?
Put the words in context
A good idea to learn more words faster is to put them in context: Instead of writing lists of random words, try to put them in sentences. That way, you know how the word is used in real life. Plus, if you come up with funny sentences, it will be easier to memorize.
What is it called when you create a new word?
They're called neologisms or coinages. Making up new words is fun, creative, and—especially when that word addresses a gap in the language—an extremely useful thing to do.
