German Vocab Boosters

I was hoping for some advice. I am presently an intermediate student of German and looking for a way to quickly boost my vocabulary. I am hoping to learn about 30-40 new words a day. Anyone know of a good resource that can feed my hunger for new words?

Free would be nice, but not totally necessary. :-P

I am really wanting to focus just on words, i can build phrases and speak in the 4 most used tenses. Looking forward to getting your advice!

Thanks guys :-)

Re: German Vocab Boosters

No idea if this fits your craving for vocab or not, but it was recommended on EF a while back and may be worth a look. I've bookmarked it but that's as far as I've gotten

Re: German Vocab Boosters

It depends your present level. I believe in vocabulary in context, not in word lists. But that might be just me.

I would claim that 20 Minuten read every morning with revision twice later in the day and vocab. logg cards of some kind is a good way to go for more than just the basics and for adding a bit of sophistication to your colloquial basic German.
