A fun way to build vocabulary
I have been playing the game "Wordlink" in Spanish on king.com - you can sign up and play for free, and in the "managing my account" you can have all screens and correspondance to you be in Spanish. Wordlink is like a wordfind where you build any words you can find of 3 letters or more that are adjacent to one another. Then after the game, you can go to "detales" and look at the words you spelled, see if there are any you don't know the meaning of, see if you thought something was a word that is not and why (were you spelling it wrong, etc)
I have found a few words they allow I can not find here, and I have found there are a few words that I find in the dictionary here that they say are not words (año, lasso, rino, puta (that last probably because it is too vulgar?))
I like to do many different sorts of things to keep Spanish in my head every day - watch TV, lessons here, reading, talking to myself in the car, listening to music lyrics in Spanish, etc. I find that if a couple of them are fun (and even addictive!) it keeps me going on days I might flake out.

Oh, I also play Amazing Adventures. It is like a hidden pictures and has the words at the bottom, so I am learning new words - I have Spanishdict open too and check out the dictionary if I get stuck. It's building more than nouns at times, because sometimes it gives you clues rather than just naming the object like "used for cleaning". Have fun!
