The easiest way to learn English is to be immersed in it - be around just English-speaking people.\n\nAs I read your welll-written question, it appeared to me that you are ready to go to an American university. It will be a little more difficult for you because you will be improving your English as you study other courses but I am confident that you can do it. It's obvious that you have good study habits.

How To Learn English!\n\nHere 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 r

1. Speak English with people.\n\n2. Watch English TV programmes.\n\n3. Listen to English radio channels.\n\n4. Hang out where people speak English a lot and just listen to them speak. \n\nBut nothing beats practice. Just try to speak it as much as you can with people who can speak it well. Reading more English helps, too, so read as much as you can. Comics, magazines, books, newspapers, and so on.

To "TheOneAndOnly" : I would suggest watching your own spelling if you decided to teach others in such a way, you made 3 "mistages" yourself. Dont look down on people. Not nice.\nTo "Winter": If you live in the country where people speak English, just use every opportunity to learn - read newspapers, watch TV, talk to people. There is no better way to learn a language .If you live in a different country, you may find a tutor, or simply read more books in English, watch movies in the original - it also usually helps.

Read the Bible, it is a great way to learn real English.\nAnd I am talking about the King James Version, where the real kings' English is spoken.\n\nYou can get some tapes, and read along with them to get the right intonation and usage of words. Using this method, you will be pleasantly surprised at how fast you pick up the language! \nDon't just take my word for it either, try it!

I think you mean "How can I improve my English?"\n\nThere are two keys for language learning:  Talking and reading.  Do both as much as you possibly can.

NOT a CD!!!\n\nIf you are a beginner, Pimseleur Learning Approach CD is good.\n\nBut, you already know some English.\n\nReading is a very good way to learn English. You should find a book that is written in both your language and English. For example, "The Little Prince" is a book that is written in English, and also French, and also Japanese, and also Spanish...\n\n1. Read the book in your language. \n2. Read the book in English. Use dictionaries. Look in the book in your language.\n\nIt is very, very hard to learn English. Reading sounds hard. But, it is really faster and better than most methods.

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

I believe the best way to learn any language, especially for children, is the way you learn your first language--through listening and speaintimidatedeating, and repeating.  One word at a time will build vocabulary in words we use everyday.  For example, start with breakfast.  Name the foods in English.  Begin with a few.  Add new words as old are mastered.  Don't try to do more than the children can handle.\n\nMusic is also excellent.  There are many wonderful English language children's songs that make learning fun.  For example "Coconut Soap" teaches parts of the body.  "Wash my cheeks"  you rub cheeks.."wash my arms" you rub arms etc.  This can also be used with teens if you tell them they need to learn it to teach the younger children (otherwise they might be "too cool" to sing a kid's song).\n\nThere are also numerous ESL schools that cater to children.\n\nIf your children are older you might connect them with an English speaking e-pal so that they can practice their writing and at least feel unintimidated by using a foreign language.\n\nBest of luck.  A TESOL Certified teacher.\n\nThe most important thing is to keep learning fun and interesting.
