+70 You'd like to have a bigger vocabulary, but have no idea how one would go about making a realistic effort to expand their vocabulary, amirite?

By realistic effort, I mean something other than sitting down and reading a freaking dictionary or something.

Vocab squares! I have to do them for my AP English class. I look up SAT words and write a definition, synonym or antonym, a sentence, and draw a picture. I doubt you'd want to do this in your free time though. I'm a nerd and actually enjoy learning these new words hehe My favorite word currently is defenestrate!

I have a word of the day everyday. It has to be a word I didn't before know the meaning to. It's more often recognizing them while reading than actually using them though. It's difficult!
