There are lots of different ways to improve your English. A good teacher and strong motivation are for starters!

I like to supplement my learning with additional activities. I am really big on grammarlings at the moment, it helps my brain think more 'like a native'.

Although in the beginning of my English learning experience, I used a lot of audio courses. Pimsleur had a good one for Russian speakers.

In my opinion, when you learn new words, you should the words and examples, then create your own examples. Also, use the words in everyday life, i.e. to think in English, so that you can remember and use them fluently. Talking to your self is one of the best way to learn foreign languages. At first, you may find this is ridiculous, however, you will soo get used to it! Otherwise, if you don't use your vocabs frequently, they may soon become dead words.
That's how I learn English

Whether you are a foreign student or a native speaker, English skills can always be improved. There are many tried and true tips for learning English. These are five English tips that are often taught to the foreign language speakers coming into English. These tips not only help learn English, but they are also tips on improving English skills.

1. Listen as much as you can - Listening to conversations in English is one of the most effective ways to build your vocabulary and speaking skills.

2. Read a book, newspaper or journal in English that is just above your current level of reading with a dictionary. This will help to learn new vocabulary words in a fun way. This is also a great tip for improving English in a technical field. Even by spending a mere 15 minutes a day, your skills can improve drastically.

3. Practice English with a partner - Study partners can help each other understand different topics, talk through questions, and practice English skills.

4. Listen to speeches or watch movies or documentaries in areas you aren't familiar with are fun tips on improving English. This activity will help improve listening and vocabulary at the same time. At first you can use subtitles, then turn the subtitles off when the listening part of this activity becomes easier.

5. Keeping a diary allows you to utilize all of your English skills that you've been practicing with reading, listening and grammar. As a bonus, you can go back over your entries and grade yourself, noting where you can improve more. This is one of the greatest tips on improving English at any stage of learning the language.

Learning English is hard, but with these tips on learning English, you will get better.

I know that your native language is French, but I have an app in my tablet ( that it can be used with android or IO's), that is perfect for learning, its name is Duolingo.
In it you can find many ways to learn a lot of languages, like English. It makes you exercises, but they're not boring. I like playing with the app, because I have fun and i have a good time with it, and also I learn!
I like brushing up my English with this app it’s pretty funny and not very difficult, but I hope that me and lot of people like you, will learn a lot with this beautiful application.

Hello,
Learning English is not difficult. Just set of your mind to the English. Every time thought in English and try to speak in English.
There are face to you some problems with speech but don't worry you will speak English well as time and with practice. Try to speak in front of the mirror for increasing your confidence. Find the vocabulary words more to more and try to use it in your speaking.

Learning English is not that much difficult that we consider. It just a game of mindset. We just set our mind that we are not able to talk in English. To learn English most of the people join coaching it helps them to learn English easily and also develop their personality.

Hello! Good luck with your English. The most important thing is a lot of practice. Movies, TV shows, music, will help you with your pronunciation. You also need to spend time on grammar, vocabulary and reading. Most importantly, don't be afraid that it will be difficult.

Hello :) You can find many resources online that can help you and most of them are for free. For example, the most known are British Council Learn English, where you can find free video and audio resources for learners of all ages and at all levels, and BBC Learning English, which has lots of free resources, including courses at different levels as well as vocabulary, grammar and listening practice; I also suggest Books4Languages, which offers free textbooks of English grammar, vocabulary and orthography as well as some exercises; Easy world of english, which provides you with online courses of English grammar, pronunciation, reading; and finally Exam English, where you can find online tests to practice for most of the ESL English exams.
Reading a lot can also be useful, as well as watching movies in their original language and practicing speaking with other people, either native speakers or people that want to learn English like you. Live Mocha, Speaky and EnglishLD are examples of websites where people practice English together.
I hope you find this useful.

Use English often when speaking. Research has shown that regular communication in that language is helpful for persons learning any language. English-subtitled movies, TV shows, news, and interviews are examples of video material. It will aid in the improvement of your general English ability. In addition to reading books, periodicals, and newspapers, you should also listen to podcasts, music, interviews, and other media. It will improve both your listening and reading skills when taken together. Your vocabulary will also get better. Take proficiency tests, and finally: Test your English proficiency by taking one of the numerous exams and quizzes available while also studying grammar. Study various grammar rules and practice using them.
