I am an Indian too - and so, feel fully qualified to understand your problem, and answer you :\nTo speak and write well [correctly], you must first become very familiar with the language : And the best method for that is to read as much as you can, of the CORRECT kind of English...\nThe Readers’ Digest is best for your purpose - with its simple and contemporary [present-day] English, mostly written in a crisp ‘active’ voice. \nKeeping a dictionary nearby, to check any word you do not understand, make it a point to read at least 2 articles every day - and then try repeating from memory [in English, of course !] whatever you had read. \nAlso keep a good book on English Grammar [Wren & Martin’s High School Grammar is possibly the best reference book available] handy - to spot-check and clear any doubts on Grammar.\nThe more you keep reading [next step : novels by British authors, whose English does not involve too much ‘slang’], the better will your vocabulary [range of words you know to use] be ! \n...At the same time, take steps to improve your pronounciation : \nGet VCDs or DVDs of famous films like ‘My Fair Lady’ which highlight correct English pronounciation. See this film again and again, follow how the actors pronounce words, and try imitating them aloud : You will sound funny to even yourself at first - but [if you only do not give up midway !] after a few weeks, you will find that your accents and pronounciations, have certainly improved.\n....The next step : record your speaking in English, and listen to it yourself. Try to find where all you had gone wrong, and make efforts to correct those mistakes...\n...After about 3-4 months of continuous effort [not before that, please !], both your vocabulary and pronounciation will have become good enough - to give you the confidence to write !\n...Do not think of writing as a ‘composition’ class in a school : Imagine that you are talking to a person sitting in front of you - and simply put down what you would have talked about in writing ! [As you should have adequate knowledge of spellings by now, this will not be too much of a problem !]\nNow, read whatever you have written, aloud - and try to judge what SOUNDS RIGHT, and what does not. Try to find out what was wrong, by yourself, and correct it. Repeat this, until you feel satisfied with what you have written ! \n...Continue this process of reading, speaking, plus writing - while testing out your new talents, upon only your friends and family. Hopefully, there should be at least one person among them, who knows GOOD English - who will support your efforts.\n...Self help, dear friend, is the BEST help : No amount of expensive ‘private tutions’, or ‘conversational courses’ given by so-called experts can help you - as only your will, and efforts can.\nMy Best Wishes to you.

Do CA and then MBA. Then you will definitly get a good job.\n\nFor english communication, work on grammer with help of grammer books or coaching, then listen to alot of english stuffs(movies, news, serials on Star World etc.), think asif you are talking in english to someone else....stop translating and start thinking in english, talk to yourself and others in english. If you feel shy in talking to your friends and relatives in english then buy a headphone and mic and start chatting to people who can't see you or know you.....be ware that you need to  talk only in english. If someone points out ur mistake, appriciate it and don't feel bad otherwise you will not be able to learn. This much is sufficient!\n\nFor typing speed, try to memorise where the charesters are on the keyboard..which one is after which one, which one is before which one...things like that. Now, type everyday, may be something from newspaper. A regular chatting is also helpful in increasing speed....itz a fact, no kidding. People have found out that when they chat with many people at a single time then they try to type faster than anyother time, it increases speed tremendously. I have tried it.\n\nBoth, improving english and typing speed takes times....so have patience.\n\nSince you have done B.com, what the interviewer is going to ask is from your subject, so be well versed with the subjects of your graduation.\n\nIf incase you are thinking about higher studies, and your choice is MBA, take a coaching....atleast for maths as you might not have solved maths for a long time.

There are many ways to develop communications skills. Its also good to know what communication skill you want to develop. Is it written communication? or is it oral? Anyway, I will provide simple answers to both.\n\n1) An important tool to develop both your communication skills is to expand your vocabulary. You can expand your vocabulary in various ways:\n   a) Dictionary- 3-5 words a day, use them in your sentences throughout the day.\n   b) Fiction Books- Literary books coupled with a dictionary can really boost your vocabulary because they contain rarely used words in your everyday life. Check out the bestsellers.\n   c) Newspaper- Reading the headlines at least 15 minutes a day would really help, it will also keep you updated!\n\n2) You can also develop your communication skill by joining a Toastmasters club near you! Most of the people there are really good speakers and communicators.\n\n3) When communicating, 90% of the message is expressed through body language, and only 10% for the verbal message. Read books such as "Body Language" and quickly boost your communication skills!\n\nWell that's about it... Hope I helped you!

I am not sure what your proficiency is. But you could try reading to increase your vocabulary. Even better if you can get a translation with it. Wikipedia runs hundreds of articles in numerous languages. Give them a try.

practice, practice, practice.always talk to everybody in english. if you just keep on reading english books and listening to english conversations without you using it, then there's no way you'll learn it.

Hi there,\n\nFirst of all learn a lot of vocabulary and grammar. \nYou need good basics!\n\nThen try to find some penfriends and write to them.\nMaybe you can chat and learn,... but not everyone in chat types good English, so that can be difficult.\nListen to songs and watch English programmes/films.\nThis way you will practice writing, reading listening skills.\n\nI hope this helps.

There are a few things that you can do to improve your listening comprehension. \n1. Watch television in English as much as possible. Even if you don't understand all that is being said, you can start to get a good feel for the rhythm of the language. \n2. Listen to English music. Pick a song that you really like and learn the lyrics. Most lyrics can be found by a simple search on the net. \n3. Watch people's mouths when they speak to you in English. This helps you see how each sound is being made and may even improve your pronunciation as well. \n4. When having a conversation in English, don't be afraid or embarrassed to ask when you don't understand. The more and more you learn from asking native speakers, the less and less you will have to ask in the future! =) \n\nThese hints can be applied to learning any language, so hope this helps!

the simplest way i can say... is to read  newspapers - ..English dailies of course  .\n\nIf u wanna speak good English... start watching the news bulletins. The 24x7 news channels (BBC , NDTV -India etc..) keep repeating the same trash for 3-4 bulletins. Listen carefully to how they speak, and try repeating few lines after them. Well.. if u miss it the first time .. dont worry .. the same bulletin would come up in say half an hour after the first. \n\nu can also check out :\n\nhttp://www.englishforums.com/\nregister over there and chk out the forum's pages. Pretty interesting grammar and vocabulary info given there. \n\nAnd of course.. pick up grammar books for sharpening ur grammar skills .\n\nTalk to people in English (ur friends who speak pretty good English) and insist that they reply in English ..bcos i have seen many who have made attempts to talk in English... but their attempts have been turned - down by their peers.\n\nWell... u might try Enid Blyton's books for a start .. those are books written esp. for kids (don't mistake me but that is THE basic English).\n\nAnd when u feel that ur English has improved.. start reading the novels / literature works etc...\n\nAnd looking at ur question.."how can i learn English?"\nu r not that bad at all.. Trust me.. there are a lot  who make an ass out of this wonderful language.

As I said today to another Asker, the following:\n\nI have improved (in my view) English by following steps:\n\n1. Read daily English language Newspapers as a habit and enjoyed reading each and every page from Top to Bottom (in those days when TV was just showing presence in B/W format).\n\n2. Watching English movies and then TV News in English. By the way, BBC Radio (later on BBC World and CNN) helped me a lot while listening to then news of war of liberation in Bangladesh.\n\n3. Having English as medium of instruction and communication in my days in Pak-Swiss Training Centre, Karachi from 1970-1973. PS. I am not sure if the same is continuing now as I can see the present graduates of PSTC are lacking in English.\n\n4. Have a lot of business or friend-circle people whom you can talk / negotiate / chat / SMS / e-mail etc., in English.\n\nHappy English learning!!

Practice, practice, practice! When speaking, speak in English instead of your native language if the one you're talking to knows English. When thinking, think in English. Also watch and listen to English media. It will eventually work! :-)
