How do I improve my vocabulary from average to excellent? Should I read through dictionaries? Would Memrise or Duolingo be good?

Read the dictionary and the thesaurus, or at least keep them on hand. I had to read those as punishment, but I think it was beneficial in the long run.

I got in trouble frequently in school, and being sat alone with nothing but the dictionary to read was my punishment.

Man what a bore. The teacher who oversaw detentions at my school was quite creative, such as “write a story about the area inside a ping pong ball”. He did read them and comment afterwards.

kiddo... you should have been reading dictionaries for fun since you were a child. you are way, way behind. duolingo is a start, depending on which language you choose. ie, italian or greek and not klingon or esperanto

Reading a dictionary would be a thousand times better than what I had.
