Simple - Practise, Practise & more Practise with the help of someone who uses English as their native language, and isn't afraid to tell you when you've screwed-up.\n\nIf you've just been learning in your own country, and you can afford it.... try going on a course in a country where it's spoken natively, such as here: http://www.funenglish.co.uk/\n\nTry reading out loud from a book written in English, but stick to simple childrens stuff, such as "BEANO" comics or THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE (hey, they're damn good reads you know... and are collectible items that may become worth something one day) rather than diving straight into something like "War & Peace" or "Pride & Prejudice".... or maybe something more advanced, like Jeremy Clarkson's articles in the motoring section of the Sunday Times - available on their website http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/\n\nIf you've got a decent internet connection and have RealPlayer installed, there are full length episodes of THE SKY AT NIGHT astromomy show on the BBC's website (presented by Sir Patrick Moore for nearly as long as there's been television in the UK), which may help as he speaks slowly & clearly http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/space/spaceguide/skyatnight/

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! :)

really the best way to improve in ANY language is to immerse yourself in it.  that means living somewhere that english is the only language, and by doing so you are forced to use english all day every day.  it is hard, but you will quickly improve, and be much better than if you just took classes or read books.\n\nif you can't swing this, then speaking regularly in english is the best way - listening and speaking are the hard parts.  i know plenty of people who can read and write pretty well, but their spoken english is terrible.  i'm kind of the same way with french.

I am assuming by the way your question is worded that you are not a native English speaker. The best way to improve your language skills is to use them as much as possible. When I was in Germany I refused to speak English even to those who spoke it. I made great improvement every day. You don't need a book. You need to go out and speak with native English speaking persons (Americans, Canadians, Australians, Britons) and try not to use your native language any more than you have to, even among friends. My American friends would always want to revert back to English when we were together.\n\nThe interesting part will come when you have mastered the language and are able to communicate what you are thinking without using a limited vocabulary.

lol :D\n\n" I'll help you. My English is really good."\nOne thing is to be a native and only speak English all the time and another thing is to write correctly in English, right?\n\n\nIf you are talking about your listening comprehension... watch series and films. If they don't have subtitles, it'd be better.\nFor the reading comprehension, go to serious websites to read. Not here. Here people have a very awful spelling and poor grammar. Also read books and newspapers. Get a good dictionary. Or two: a normal one (where the definitions are in English) and one that translates into your language.\nFor your writing abilities... practice, practice and practice. Ask someone who has a GOOD grammar to help you identify the errors and correct them.\nAnd for your speaking abilities... practice as much as possible. Even if you practice with people who have your same level, you'll improve. Try to do it with natives. Don't be shy to speak to them. some will appreciate your effort, some don't. But you'll never know if you don't try.

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..\nWhen 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.......\ntake care.\npleeeeeeeeeease give me 10 points!

Hi Shiva\n  I think the best way to speak English fluently is to actually speak it more often.\n It's good u read the newspaper. It would be even better if u read it out loud.\n  Surround yourself with fluent english speakers so that you can listen to how they speak \n  Try to speak english as much as possible\n  Don't get discouraged if anyone laughs at the way u speak. Be confident.Don't let anyone discourage you.\n  Also try to watch sitcoms/ in english, english movies or watch the news in english\n  If u get stuck when u r speaking, don't panic. if u panic less u might remember what u want to say.\n  As long as u r determined to speak english fluently, u will achieve it\nAll the best.

The 2 things that will help you more than anything are reading and a daily word program (selecting a new word at random from the dictionary every day, learning its definition and using it whenever possible; a word-a-day calendar). Additionally, you can Use Merriam-Webster's on-line dictionary http://m-w.com to select any word in their database and click on the audio link to hear the proper pronunciation for the word. Practicing these methods can vastly increase your vocab skills.\n\nOther than these practices, there are websites devoted to teaching you new words and their meanings (do a Yahoo! search using terms such as "vocabulary quizzes", "vocabulary builder" or "vocabulary or English tutoring").\n\nI have excellent grammar skills myself and may be able to help you in my spare time if all else fails.

If you want to learn english really fast you must do 2 things.\n\n1.GO to an english country and stay there for a couple of months.\nI say this because when there are english people around you .\nYou have no choice of talking another language.So sooner or later you will get used to it and start communicating with them.\n\nNOTE:You must no basic grammer!\n\n2.The best thing to do to improve your accent is to watch english\nTV and english books.This is the only cure!\n\nFollow these my friend and you will be speaking english in no time.

My suggestion is to come here and write sentences like you have and let people correct them.\n\nThen, I would speak each and every answer out loud.  Even if you don't get the pronunciation correct, if you keep reading these little snippets of information out loud, you will have a very deep understanding on how English is structured.  Then, when you are able to talk to a native speaker, it will just be a matter of getting the pronunciation correct.  That's the easy part.

The best way to improve one's fluency in a language is to use it! Write stories, talk to people, read anything and everything you can find. The internet is a great website for this--read anything you can find that interests you! Good luck!
