I keep a notepad while I´m watching some films which are not so mainstream, so I can take notes of vocabulary. Trumbo was a great film for that.
Some bands I like have a very broad vocabulary, so I tend to look for some broader meanings.
Some interviews, too

I teach Cambridge prep courses, which makes me study hard lol. However, I guess that as far as fluency goes, I usually get a lot of English from series, such as Suits, The Crown, mostly popular shows. Also, I love watching James from EngVid. He's a Canadian teacher and he's got an amazing youtube channel.

Put in a noun and it gives you a list of words that describe it

Describing Words

The idea for the Describing Words engine came when I was building the engine for Related Words (it's like a thesaurus, but gives you a much broader set of related words, rather than just synonyms). While playing around with word vectors and the " HasProperty" API of conceptnet, I had a bit of fun trying to get the adjectives which commonly describe a word. Eventually I realised that there's a much better way of doing this: parse books!

Project Gutenberg was the initial corpus, but the parser got greedier and greedier and I ended up feeding it somewhere around 100 gigabytes of text files - mostly fiction, including many contemporary works. The parser simply looks through each book and pulls out the various descriptions of nouns.

Hopefully it's more than just a novelty and some people will actually find it useful for their writing and brainstorming, but one neat little thing to try is to compare two nouns which are similar, but different in some significant way - for example, gender is interesting: " woman" versus " man" and " boy" versus " girl". On an inital quick analysis it seems that authors of fiction are at least 4x more likely to describe women (as opposed to men) with beauty-related terms (regarding their weight, features and general attractiveness). In fact, "beautiful" is possibly the most widely used adjective for women in all of the world's literature, which is quite in line with the general unidimensional representation of women in many other media forms. If anyone wants to do further research into this, let me know and I can give you a lot more data (for example, there are about 25000 different entries for "woman" - too many to show here).

The blueness of the results represents their relative frequency. You can hover over an item for a second and the frequency score should pop up. The "uniqueness" sorting is default, and thanks to my Complicated Algorithm™, it orders them by the adjectives' uniqueness to that particular noun relative to other nouns (it's actually pretty simple). As you'd expect, you can click the "Sort By Usage Frequency" button to adjectives by their usage frequency for that noun.

Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source mongodb which was used in this project.

Watching youtube videos in English on your favourite subjects. Additionally, reading and / or taking part in the comments sections or online forums. Online games such as MMORPGs are excellent for meeting up and gathering with English speakers.

Another thing I do is to watch Gilmore Girls without subtitles because they talk so fast on this show hahaha. It definitely has helped me to improve my listening skills so much!!
Also, I use The Free Dictionary for synonyms whenever I am writing a text, so that I boost my vocabulary!

- media in general: watching series or films (the last series I watched was "The Crown"), news or even funny videos on YouTube and writing down words or expressions I didn't get or I simply didn't know. Then, I look them up (Cambridge dictionary is a life saver!).
- Through the lyrics of my fav metal bands (such as Epica, Nightwish, Stratovarious etc.), which are very complex and employ different words that enrich my vocabulary
- Reading posts on Instagram, especially those about topics I like: culture, racial relations, music, art, cookery...
- When I prepare my lessons, especially those for Plus Upper and Master groups
- I also try to practice with my friend, chatting in English on Telegram or WhatsApp via audio messages.
