When something 'expands' it means to grow or gain in size. English is one of the most expressive and emotive languages in the world so some students can find the amount of words daunting.
I would like to add more words to my vocabulary. Do you have any ideas?
Do you know how I can expand my vocabulary?
What should I do to make my vocabulary better?
Any language is always strengthened by the vocabulary you know. When meeting someone of the language you are learning and you would like their help, all you have to do is ask them "Do you know how I can expand my vocabulary?"and they will offer you solutions and ways to do that. One of the ways you could do that is by listening to English music and watching English shows!
If you want to do something in the future, you can explain it by using the form: 'I am hoping to + VERB.
Eg. 'I'm hoping to study at Oxford University when I leave college.'
将来何かをしたいなら、'I am hoping to + 動詞' を使って表すことができます。
例：
'I'm hoping to study at Oxford University when I leave college.'

I would like to learn more English words and what they mean.
Will you help me learn more English words to expand my vocabulary?
I need to know what that word means so I can know more words.
You want to expand your vocabulary or grow the amount of words you learn but some people can be put off by you saying "vocabulary" so just say "words". It comes across as more friendly.

Will you help me learn more English words to expand my vocabulary?
I need to know what that word means so I can know more words.
I need to remember that word so I can use it in the future.
ボキャブラリーを増やしたいということですが、"vocabulary"という単語を使うと興味をなくす人もいると思います。ですから、"words"を使いましょう。よりフレンドリーな印象になります。

The two sentences you see provided above are excellent ways to express to your listener that you want to expand your vocabulary. In the first sentence you will see the word grow and in the second sentence you will see the term add to. This word and this term mean to expand. They would make great additions to your vocabulary.
If you want to do something better then as well as 'better' you can also say you want to 'improve' it. If you want to expand something you want to know more and make it bigger (so you know more words)
