Dear Friend

Your Problem appears universally. If you take one small look to the problem, it seems to be a huge impedement. But If you just look at it more carefully, strongly believed, you would find way to handle the problem. for me, to put words permenantly in my mind I try to see, hear and use it very quite often.

Sun ! I don't think there's any clear formula as language is one branch of the Social Science.  From my experience, the more you read, the more you get to know. So read more.  "Not Lazy" is one of the good answers.

Ask yourself what field you are most interested in. I mean are you interested in English for Medicine, English for Biz., English for Buddhism... ?  After finding out your clear interest, you can start reading, listening to and talking about the topics that are of that specific interest to you.  Then you'll be more well-versed in the vocab. for that field. 

Remember that noone knows all and not everyone can do everything.

Oh and those vocab. building dictionaries available at the market can also help.  It still comes down to the point that YOU'RE ADVISED TO READ MORE AND NOT TO BE LAZY.

Hmm... for my advise:

1. Read much. As you read, try to notice some key words. Key words are words that mostly appear inside the text (Apart from preposition), and words with are closely related to the topic. Write them down, note them or highlight them. Get your dictionary, look for its meaning, memorize it and leave it behind for a time-being. Do the same thing for a new key word. When finish reading, try to write down what you have noticed, with definitions. Try to see how much can you remember. And, try that method again after finishing reading for like 24 hours.
Offtopic: According to Psychology, a human can remember something well for the first 48 hours after recognition, in the case that he/she doesn't try to review what he has learned, the memory will slowly fade, and in one week, he will have little image of what he has learned. So, think for yourself.

2. Like the 1 story, when reading and encounter new words, write it down. This time, try to find at least 3 example sentence with include those words or that word (one by one).
Offtopic: In dictionary, for one certain word, you will find different usages of it. So, try to find example for each usage.

3. To get better image of that word, try to think of that word in mind. I know this difficult.
Offtopic: Imagination helps memory... and gaining full understanding to one certain words. Such as the word: Skyscraper... which means tall big building. Imagine!

4. Try to speak loudly, or even shout, those words for at least 5 times. Do it again after 24 hours of recognition.
Offtopic: Don't be too lazy... its like when you to sing one song, after singing one certain song for many times, you will remember all its content.

Yeah, that's all i got.

Always make a first talk. It helps you a lot to remember just as you remember the first love. Oh! yeah. It's true.
