it's not possible, because the words don't have anything to do with each other, it's very hard to learn something that doesn't make sense, that doesn't have any logic, like a poem or something
i guess some people with can memorize a few pages, but that's it

Yes. Samuel Johnson wrote the "original" dictionary from his own vocabulary. True, there are a lot more words today, but it is possible for a select few. Ask the older folks about that little boy, who was asked why he didn't check the encyclopedia, answered that the encyclopedia is alright, "I've read it!"

No. You can increase your recognition vocabulary, but there will always be words you never encounter and, therefore, don't remember. And Samuel Johnson did not use his own vocabulary. He read historical literature and used the words he found in those writings.

Learn a couple of words every day or week. Use the words in your conversations if you can and soon you will have a large vocabulary.
