- Play some games.
- Engage in conversations.
How many words can you learn in a day?

I’m pretty convinced that learning random words is NOT a good idea.
How many vocabulary books should I read a day?
In other words, as many as you are able to learn. If you can learn 10 a day, you’ll be doing great. The more you read (stories, newspaper articles, textbooks, not EFL textbooks, but textbooks in fields that you know something about and are interested in), the more vocabulary you’ll learn and the faster you’ll learn it.
How many words do you need to be fluent in a language?

If the latter is your own goal for a foreign language then I’d argue that this is a reasonable benchmark.
