There are lots of websites that will help you expand your vocabulary, many of which even will push out new words every day to your mobile phone or your email address.
Some great places for word learning are:
There are also online games you can play, which will build your word skills, such as Words With Friends, Scrabble and Bookworm. Bookworm is one of my personal favorites because it gets harder as you move up in levels.
If you prefer not to have something delivered to your inbox every day, you can still learn new words and expand your horizons by reading.
Read your local daily news or the national news online. Read the religious book of your faith such as the Bible, Torah or Quran. Read children's books to your kids every night. Take a class.
Also, when you come across a word and your not sure of its meaning or even its spelling,don't be afraid to consult a dictionary online such as those suggested above, and jot it down for later if you can't look it up right away, so you won't forget it. Also, Wikipedia is a great place to get a complete history of a topic.
You might think that being an adult and not being able to spell a word, especially if it's a word you learned growing up and have since forgotten, is embarassing. It's not. No one knows everything.
I'll bet you can think of a word right now you'd like to better understand. We're done here, so go ahead and look it up!
