Vocabulary

I was wondering how can I increase my vocabulary in Japanese))
From where should I pick my vocabulary)
When I listen to a podcast, I usually pick the wrong word. I mean, when they repeat the word more than one time in their conversation, I write it down in my notebook but then when I look it up in a dictionary it often be a word that is not used commonly. I don't know if it's commonly used in Japanese but in my mother language we don't use it often.
In my experience, I think picking from dramas is a bit easier but it's so slow. I usually learn only two or three words in a whole drama series.
From where did you take your Japanese vocabulary(!!
Sorry for writing this long question and for asking a frequently asked question but I wanted to know how Japanese learners pick and choose their vocabulary.
Thank you so much.

Read newspapers (or their websites), books, etc. Talk with native speakers.

Thank you I'll try reading something in Japanese
