How to expand vocabulary? (lemmy.ml)

Now I can watch some films with subtitles, read texts(I think my level is about A2 - B1) and understand the main point, but I feel like I need somehow to expand my vocabulary. I tried to learn new words using flash cards and it's seems effectively. But too boring for me and I just can't do it. So, maybe you can give a couple recommendations?

I'm only text to people online. Probably good practice, but I'm too unsure of myself to speak others

Well unfortunately you won't ever really learn how to speak the language if you don't speak it to others.

You yourself just admitted you reached a barrier and can't make more progress.

The next step to learn is to get over that anxiety and actually speak to someone.
