Dear Jake
Welcome aboard.
A method which I learned in high school for retaining new vocabulary words was to use them. There is something about the human brain that likes to connect one thing with another. If you use a new word in connection with a letter to your aunt or a speech you give at the club or even in your diary, the chances are that the linkage will reinforce the retention of that word in your working vocabulary. I am frequently required to write brief memorandum opinions on legal motions made in my court. I strive to use (just) one of my most recent vocabulary acquisitions in each such opinion. The lawyers who practice regularly in my court have come too expect and look for these lexical gems embedded in the gangue of my prose. Works for me.
