You can try reading books that you enjoy...dont go in for learning consciously just read the type of books you like.

I've never counted but probably somewhere around 20,000 words which I could use with confidence. In fact, though, I could generally get by with between 3,000 and 5,000 words and I do try to limit my vocabulary here, especially when writing for people whose main language is not English.

I have never counted how many words I know in the English language, but I do know that it is a lot. The only way to learn more is to read more and more and look for the definition of the words that you do not understand. No other way,
