Where I Can I Learn English Vocabulary From?

[VeselinaMiteva]

Hi there! I have recently decided to improve my English. I found free stuff in the Internet for Grammar but I can not find nothing useful for improving my Vocabulary. I know the words or they do not seems to be useful. Do you know any site with lists with words(intermediate and upper intermediate)? It will be good if there is an example of usage in a sentence.
The second problem is that I am doing well in understanding English both reading and listening but when I have to express myself, to say something, to write, to translate from my native language to English I have got problems. Example: when I seen word in English I know it, but when I have to reverse from native to English I can not remember the meaning. Why is that? How can I avoid that?

Familiarity. Use a word (of the day) for a bit and it'll stick in your memory eventually. Perhaps meet up with others learning English. Get familiar with words together, help each other ?
