If you don't like reading literary books as an aid to improve your vocabulary, then why not explore the millions of web-sites that offer vocabulary lists and games to help you do just that?
One web-site I love is https://www.vocabulary.com. Take "The Challenge" and see how many words you can identify and go through the endless thematic categories full of vocabulary.
Another great site for vocabulary assistance is http://www.vocabularya-z.com/, and let's not forget the countless dictionaries available on-line just sitting there waiting to be browsed. Dictionaries also have the added feature of having a thesaurus, so take advantage!
Lastly, if you love music, don't forget that looking up the lyrics to your favorite tunes can help your understanding better and even make you think of why certain words are used instead of others (and also realise how many mistakes are made as well!!!). So many grammatical mistakes are made in song-writing and many students learning English as a foreign language learn these structures incorrectly. Be flexible in your learning and allow yourself to correct your mistaken use of grammar, idioms, expressions and phrasal verbs. If you have any questions and there's no one available to ask, please feel free to ask me! After all, this blog was created to help those learning English! :) :)
Above all, have fun and don't forget to use the new words you learn!
Keep Calm and Use Your English!
:) :) :)
