Answer #1

u dont have to memorize, watch movies and read books..thats how I learned..but im not that really good though..

Answer #2

I don’t know how many, but heres a plan… Everyday open the dictionary and find a random word and learn it, use it as much as possible. Once you do that everyday your vocabulary will grow tremendously.

Answer #3

You learn best through hearing and using the words in context. My best technique is listening to the radio - songs, advertising etc, and then looking up new words in the dictionary if I keep hearing them. There are too many words to learn, as you say, and most English speakers only use a tiny amount of the full English vocabulary. So the most important thing for you is to get used to the kind of words you use and hear/read every day. Best of luck!
