I find I'm big into these. So far I've worked through the 30 Days to a Better Vocabulary and the Merriam Webster Vocabulary Builder. Anyone know of any other good'uns?

Read a book. It's the best way to learn new words.

sorta related, a guy here at work is learning spanish by watching old movies (that we all know the words to) like star wars, back to the future, etc in spanish. i thought that was a pretty neat idea.

my favorite book like this is called "I always look up the word egregious"
the guy understands that using too many large words makes you look a bit conspicuous. so, he has some funny little comments about each word.

it is like $2 on amazon
