Not that your brain is not so good. But because you fail to use it effectively.
Learning new vocabulary is easy, but how to remember it well is quite a challenge. It's involved with how well you can use it.
I have some ideas for this.
After you've learned any new vocabulary, note it down by categorizing it. For instance, you've learned about Economic in English, so any new words related to this subject should be placed in the same "Word Topic" (Economic). After that try to form some sentences from those new words. It'll help you, I believe.

I know, you will be able to remember those new words so well.

Yes, I agree with Prathna for suggesting the idea. At the same time, I have also some hints for you to take into consideration. Learning to write and speak accurately and fluently, vocabulary should be taken into account. The more you know and understand the mean of the words, the better you can communicate to the readers as well as listeners in an accurate and precise sense. Yet, the thing is that, how can we get it remembered? Categorizing is one point to avoid perplexing the word we have learned. You need to jot it down in your notebook once you looked up in the dictionary understandably and forming your own example to get the meaning clearly used in the correct situation as you might somehow know English language is very ambiguous. Thus, when you can't recall it, you can go back and counter check in a handy way. Also, I would suggest you to practically say it, let's say, finding a partner to strive a conversation or find a pen pal and set up an episode to entangle the word. By doing so, you will be able to rev up your brain and get it remembered practically. That's what I have actually been practicing through out the time.

Once again, the more you use the term, the better you can remember it like the more we use the knife, the farther it will be away from rust!

Enjoy and Good Lucks!
