Man, just about the only way to have a good vocabulary is to read a lot. I've never known anyone who actually improved their vocabulary by reading those stupid "increase your word power!" sort of books or by leafing through the dictionary.

And if you read GOOD stuff (yeah, even good fanfiction) it seems only natural you pick up good ways to use words.

I guess the period dramas help too, but with me, I wouldn't even understand what the characters were talking about half the time if I weren't a big reader.

It's just a much more natural way to learn language - see it used in context to pick up the meaning, and memorize it through lots of natural repetition. Trying to consciously memorize more than a handful of words from a learning program or dictionary seems like a pointlessly uphill battle. It's necessary if you're learning a new language and you don't know enough to read and pick up new words, but for your native language it doesn't make sense to me.
