I'm sure that many methods for learning new words exist, but I think that the best way is to read texts in the language that you wish to learn and learning new words from the context. Check new words in a dictionary where necessary. When you encounter the word again it will probably look familiar, and soon you will have a new word included in your vocabulary.

If you need to learn new words for a specific purpose wordlists might do. The technique is to have a word explained (or translated) and then go through the words listed until you master them. This method is pretty dull in the long run and adviseable only as a complement to learning words where we actually encounter them i.e. in authentic pieces of writing and speech.

this is my experience you may find useful:
1, learn the sound of the word first
2, remember them in context
3, make up a strange story to help you remember the difficult ones
4, find an opportunity to use them

One great way to learn vocabulary is start using some kind of learning system.

One easy one is to start learning some new words by studying them everyday.
When you learn them...add them to your weekly list and review them once a week.

After a week test yourself again on those words. If you still remember them...add them to your monthly list. If you forgot them...add it to your daily list again and continue to review them.

If you test yourself after a month and still remember the words...then its likely you learned them well.
