It's always better to read something regularly and go for dictionery to know the meaning of new words you come accross there than picking some random words from dictionery and by heart it. the benefit of this method is that there are chances you will meet the same word more frequently that it is easly registered in your mind.

Also try to learn one or two new words everyday … write them on a piece of paper with the meaning on the other side and carry them with you … look at them on the bus, while eating lunch, after dinner and then write a few sentences with those words and ask your friends or teachers (if you have any) to correct these sentences for you.

Memorizing and learning by heart are not that great because you'll forget these words … you will not use them often enough.  We think that a person needs to hear, see and use each word at least 8 or 9 times before they can have a good memory of it.  Then you have to use it for a while so your brain can keep it in an easy place to find.

 

Good luck

Using the words is the key for me.  Don't stare at lists of single words – put them into phrases or better, find phrases they often appear in, then USE them!
