"Reciting a Dictionery" can be the most awfull means and moreover it doesnt serve your purpose of improving English. The most convenient method is to start using English in your everday conversation , both verbal and written.

The more you use a language in your daily life the more you learn.

I agree with Athikh- simply learning words doesn't necessarily mean that there will be a huge improvement. It's better to learn to use the language you have as efficiently as possible and to add to it in a more targetted way.
