[Brun Ugle]

When I'm at a low level, I don't bother much with vocabulary lists. I just follow a textbook or other course, usually several of them. The vocabulary in them will usually come up enough to make me learn it without additional effort. After that, I start watching TV and reading books. Again, I will pick up a lot of the more common vocabulary without making much effort. As I get more advanced and need to learn less frequent words, then I start making vocabulary lists by writing down the unknown words in TV shows, books, newspaper articles, etc. I also try to start writing and speaking and make note of words that I needed and didn't know.

My strategy is as above, I soak up a bunch of resources, and then once I feel competent in the language, step 1 would be to go through a Frequency Chart (I like Wyner's 625 on Fluent Forever) and anything that doesn't immediately come to mind I put in Anki. Then I do intensive reading and/or a more advanced grammar book. Anything unknown goes in. Focus of course on areas of interest/necessity. For example, my next list of words for Chinese is going to be the names of Asian countries and capitals, and major cities in Russia. I just realized at this moment that I don't even know how to say/read St. Petersburg!

I create it while reading books, mostly. Then goes listening to music, watching films, ect

In the beginning I mostly use the new words I run into during intense textstudies (mostly based on bilingual texts), but as soon as I can get through the study texts without jotting down every other word I start wordlists based on dictionaries.

I practically never enter new words encountered during my extensive activities, mostly because I don't want to stop these activities to look words up or write them down, and therefore I have forgotten the new words long before I'm ready to write my next wordlist.
