Reading in English is a great way to learn new words. Read a bit every day and aim to learn 8 words a day. Ebooks are cheap on Amazon.com and you can read them on your phone, tablet, laptop or e-reader. Choose books that are specially for learners who already know about 2000 words. The Cambridge Readers are good examples - good stories and well written. The level 5 readers are at the 2,800 word level, so you can understand most of the words, but also learn some new ones. Good luck!
