Hi and welcome to the forum!

I usually read anything that is interesting to me,watch movies and write down most unfamiliar words and phrases that I come across.I also use monolingual dictionaries that show how words are used correctly.It would probably be more interesting and useful to go to an English speaking country to learn the language but not everyone can afford something like that.

I usually read novel books and watch english movies. But I guess those are just you know sidetrips since we have english subjects since gradeschool until now that i'm in college. But it's good if you try to learn english in a way that you won't get bored. or just learn english in a fun way.

Reading what native speakers talk about on message boards and participating in discussions is a good way of learning too.That's why I sometimes visit American/British forums, and read the most interesting posts.

hi,

i always jot down the strange words when i come across with them. then only i find for the meaning. this way really helps me a lot, till my teacher said my vocabulary is apt when i used it in my essays. you must add in some example sentences or phrases to show the way to use these words.

secondly, that is absolutely reading. story books. it really make sense of improving.

above these two ways really indeed help me. hope it might helps you, and so do other people who seen this post.

good luck and happy learning!
Still Fabulous
