A lot of words don’t have roots; hence we can easily use prefixes to know the meaning of the words.
For example: The prefix ‘BIO’ means life.
Hence Biology means 'study of life'. Similarly, Biography means features of life.
The suffix ‘al’ means ‘related to’. Hence ‘mathematical’ means ‘related to mathematics’
By using this method we can easily learn 200- 300 words more.
Contextual vocabulary
This is the most used method of learning words, and is in fact part of our intrinsic (meaning 'belonging to a thing by its very nature') learning methodology. Let's take a sample word with a sentence extracted from the New York Times, and see how this method works.
Sample Word: Lure
Sentence Example: To lure business, some states are offering a refuge from rules, especially those requiring companies to set aside enough money to pay future claims.
Meaning: Lure means to tempt or attract with the promise for reward. In this example, companies are being lured by different states by giving them special benefits. This is an example of learning words through the context they appear in. The more you read, the more such contexts you discover. And the more contexts you discover, the more you learn. So the effectiveness of this method comes down to your reading habit.

Learning through Pictures and movies
They say pictures speak a thousand words. Words can be easily learnt through this method of associating words with images. In fact, this is method of learning that we have used since our childhood. You can easily explore the net for such photographs.
So, you can use a mix of various approaches to learn words.
