I'll tell you a little trick I learned a long time ago. When you are reading, be it a novel, magazine, newspaper, or whatever, keep a notebook handy. In that notebook, write down any words that you don't know. Next time you get a chance, look up the word and write the definition in your little book. Glance over this book occasionally and continue to add to it. I'd say that your recognition vocabulary (words that you understand but don't use in speech) comes with experience and that your conversant vocabulary (words that you are comfortable using in speech) comes with practice.

Of course, this has all been made much easier with the advent of the internet. Now when you're reading online, you just double click on the word, go to dictionary.com and paste it. I still do this with EVERY word I have a doubt about. THAT is how you learn...
