Improving our vocabulary, especially for the English language is important because English is one of the most used languages in the world.
For me, English is a borrowed language. To improve, I tend to read a lot and do a lot of phonetics practice.

Practice
So You don’t just read , you have to practice. How long does it take some to learn a new skill? There so many results online but I can still remember the 10,000 hour rule. Its says you have to do something for 10,000 hours to learn it. For me I would say it’s not necessarily you practice a particular word or sentence or read for 10,000 but make it a part of your daily routine .

Always use the dictionary no one is perfect
I am a perfect example. I can check a word in the dictionary for more than ten times and still gi back to it to be sure of it. So we have different brains and memory capacity so be hard on yourself. There is no one size for all to learning. Just keep on putting in the effort and you would achieve your goal.
