Talk to English-speaking people about a variety of subjects, watch dialogue-driven films in English, and ideally you should spend time in English-speaking countries.\n\nI'm so glad you want to improve your English; too many people who live here don't even try! Good for you!

Here are some tips which may help you to master the English Language!\n\nSpeak without Fear \n\nThe biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do this. The fastest way to learn anything is to do it – again and again until you get it right. Like anything, learning English requires practice. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want. \n\nUse all of your Resources \n\nEven if you study English at a language school it doesn’t mean you can’t learn outside of class. Using as many different sources, methods and tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster. There are many different ways you can improve your English, so don’t limit yourself to only one or two. The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect. \n\nSurround Yourself with English \n\nThe absolute best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and television. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin “thinking in English.” . \n\nListen to Native Speakers as Much as Possible \n\nThere are some good English teachers that have had to learn English as a second language before they could teach it. However, there are several reasons why many of the best schools prefer to hire native English speakers. One of the reasons is that native speakers have a natural flow to their speech that students of English should try to imitate. The closer ESL / EFL students can get to this rhythm or flow, the more convincing and comfortable they will become. \n\nWatch English Films and Television \n\nThis is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English films (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors. If you listen to the news you can also hear different accents. \n\nListen to English Music \n\nMusic can be a very effective method of learning English. In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension. The best way to learn though, is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings. There are several good internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time. And if you like to sing, fine. \n\nStudy As Often As Possible!\n\nOnly by studying things like grammar and vocabulary and doing exercises, can you really improve your knowledge of any language. \n\nDo Exercises and Take Tests\n\nMany people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun. However, by completing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. One of the best reasons for doing lots of exercises and tests is that they give you a benchmark to compare your future results with. Often, it is by comparing your score on a test you took yesterday with one you took a month or six months ago that you realize just how much you have learned. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing. Start now by doing some of the many exercises and tests on this site, and return in a few days to see what you've learned. Keep doing this and you really will make some progress with English. \n\nRecord Yourself \n\nNobody likes to hear their own voice on tape but like tests, it is good to compare your tapes from time to time. You may be so impressed with the progress you are making that you may not mind the sound of your voice as much. \n\nListen to English \n\nBy this, we mean, speak on the phone or listen to radio broadcasts, audiobooks or CDs i

Firstly READ, READ, READ. It really helps alot. English classes are okay too but set goals, like everyday read a chapter (or less) of a book and any words you don't understand, look them up. Practice speaking and thinking in English, at first it will be difficult and sound grammatical incorrect but you'll get the hang of it soon\n\nAlso tapes and books on English will help a great deal.

Hi there. I am a linguist and here are some tips.\n\nRemember that you need to train yourself to speak English as comfortably and perfectly as you speak your mother tongue. \n\nHow do you do that? By inculcating certain practices in your daily lifestyle. These will get you closer to sounding like a native English speaker and equip you with a global accent -- and you will speak not American or British English, but correct English. This is the first step to learn any other accent, be it American or British or Australian. \n\nBefore you check out the tips, remember the three rules of good communication.\n1. Speak slowly.\n2. Speak audilbly.\n3. Speak clearly.\n\nHere are the tips.\n\ni. Observe the mouth movements of those who speak English well and try to imitate them.\n\nWhen you are watching television, observe the mouth movements of the speakers. Repeat what they are saying, while imitating the intonation and rhythm of their speech. \n\nii. Until you learn the correct intonation and rhythm of English, slow your speech down.\n\nIf you speak too quickly, and with the wrong intonation and rhythm, native speakers will have a hard time understanding you.  \n\nDon't worry about your listener getting impatient with your slow speech -- it is more important that everything you say be understood. \n \niii. Listen to the 'music' of English.\n  \nDo not use the 'music' of your native language when you speak English. Each language has its own way of 'singing'.  \n\niv. Use the dictionary.\n\nTry and familiarise yourself with the phonetic symbols of your dictionary. Look up the correct pronunciation of words that are hard for you to say.  A good dictionary can also help learn new words, their meanings, parts of speech, spelling and a lot of other details of good English\n\nv. Make a list of frequently used words that you find difficult to pronounce and ask someone who speaks the language well to pronounce them for you.\n\nRecord these words, listen to them and practice saying them. Listen and read at the same time.    \n\nvi. Buy books on tape. Alternately, listen to British or American TV channels. Focus on the language - vocabulary, pronunciation, intonation, pace, etc.\n\nRecord yourself reading some sections of the book. Compare the sound of your English with that of the person reading the book on the tape. \n\nvii. Pronounce the ending of each word. \n\nPay special attention to 'S' and 'ED' endings. This will help you strengthen the mouth muscles that you use when you speak English.\n  \nviii. Read aloud in English for 15-20 minutes every day. \n \nResearch has shown it takes about three months of daily practice to develop strong mouth muscles for speaking a new language. \n\nix. Record your own voice and listen for pronunciation mistakes. \n\nMany people hate to hear the sound of their voice and avoid listening to themselves speak. However, this is a very important exercise because doing it will help you become conscious of the mistakes you are making.\n\nx. Be patient.\n\nYou can change the way you speak but it won't happen overnight. People often expect instant results and give up too soon. You can change the way you sound if you are willing to put some effort into it. \n\nQuick tips\n\nVarious versions of the English language exist. Begin by identifying the category you fall into and start by improving the clarity of your speech.\n\n~ Focus on removing the mother tongue influence and the 'Indianisms' that creep into your English conversations. \n\n~ Watch the English news on television channels like Star World, CNN, BBC and English movies on Star Movies and HBO. \n\n~ Listen to and sing English songs. I'd recommend Westlife, Robbie Williams, Abba, Skeeter Davis and Connie Francis among others.

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!

Read an English language newspaper (or book) OUT LOUD.  If you just read to yourself (silently), you'll improve your reading skills but reading outloud will improve you speaking (and listening) skills -- it will connect what you hear to what you're saying.  Of course, if possible, practice speaking with native English speakers.  If you don't know native English speakers, then find some other English language learners and have an "English only" gathering.  Don't worry about getting your grammar or pronounciation exactly right (many native English never do!) just keep talking and listening.

What you can do to improve your english with grammar is to read a lot of english stuff. You should have some high standard and reliable english books of your interest in your library. Reading one page daily is better than reading seven pages weekly. Listen to english news as Fox news, BBC news, CNN, bloomberg etc. Among them, BBC is the best. Listen to the english news even if you do not understand it thoroughly. Once you will get used to it, you will start getting everything. Did you ever think that how you learned your own native language? Just by hearing the people around you. So in the same fashion, you can also learn English. First of all, you need input, and only then you will be able to produce output. The more you get input, the more your output will be. Listening to english music and watching english movies can also help. Regarding vocabulary, you can build it up by starting with 3 words daily. Remove dust from your dictionary and start using it and make a separate notebook for every new word, phrase or sentence you learn. In this way, you will be able to revise all the words you have learnt. If you learn three new words daily then at the end of year, you will have learnt 1095 new words... Make sure that the dictionary you use should be monolingual and it should have exemplary sentences with word enteries. When you read books, read it with loud voice so that you can get used to it. Pay good attention to your accent as it is your accent which impresses most of the people. There are many English CDs for improving your accent. \n\nHope these tips will be useful to you..\nAllah Hafiz

mmm...it all depends...\n\nWhere are you at? Are you living in an English-speaking country? \nIf not, are there schools for English near were you live? (I live in Japan, there are schools for English on almost ever corner in the cities)\n\nI honestly don't believe that any website can help you improve your speaking skill...the only way to do that, is by actually SPEAKING English with native speakers...\n\nIf you like, contact me. \nI teach conversational English and German here in Japan, and wouldn't mind trying to help you out - even over the internet! :)
