Practice the 4 center abilities: perusing, composing, talking and tuning in. They all should be chipped away at for you to improve.
Keep a note pad of new words you learn. Use them in sentences and attempt to say them no less than multiple times when you talk.
Memorisation of records is one of the most well-known methods of learning jargon for a test. It's just a decent exercise for momentary considering in light of the fact that you regularly don't hold the data that you have learned for a test.
Utilize your body clock. In case you're not a cheerful early bird, study in the early evening.

Plan to step through an examination. You'll see that you work more diligently when you need to read for something.

Give yourself a drawn out objective. Zero in on pursuing it.

Realize what turns out best for you. Contemplate what strategies have been effective for you before and stay with them.

Watch DVDs as opposed to TV. It's smarter to utilize something that you can look after again to get data you may have missed the first run through.
Staring at the TV just allows you the opportunity to hear something effectively first time. This is better for undeniable level understudies. It very well may be extraordinary practice for addressing local English speakers so you don't need to request that they rehash the same thing!
Peruse evaluated perusers. These books are particularly composed for your level. Peruse an entire book. You can do it! You'll feel incredible a short time later.
Kids' books have simpler words and are a decent option in contrast to evaluated perusers.
Papers are a decent spot to discover latent builds. Peruse an article and check whether you can track down the aloof sentences.
Peruse for the overall importance first. Try not to stress over seeing each word, then, at that point return and look into new words.
For a word you don't comprehend in a sentence, take a gander at different words around it. They will give you a clue. Attempt to figure the importance from the specific circumstance.
Learn root words. They'll assist you with speculating the significance of words. For instance: scrib = compose, min = little

English, in contrast to Japanese or French, utilizes word pressure. For new words, count the syllables and discover where the pressure is. Just one pressure for every word and consistently on a vowel. Two syllable action words have a weight on the subsequent syllable (beGIN). 2 syllable things (TEAcher) and modifiers (HAPpy) stress the first.
Utilize English at whatever point you can. That's all there is to it!
Try not to convert into English from your own language. Think in English to work on your familiarity. Converse with yourself… yet not on the transport in any case individuals will think you have gone off the deep end!
You can't take in English from a book. Like driving a vehicle, you can just learn through doing it.
The most regular approach to learn language structure is through talking.
Keep an English journal or diary. Start by composing a couple of sentences per day and afterward start composing more.
Why not start an online blog and offer your compositions with the world?
To improve as an essayist conceptualize as numerous thoughts and considerations onto paper without agonizing over language or spelling. Then, at that point contemplate the design. From that point onward, compose your piece utilizing great sentence structure and spelling. At last, read it through or offer it to another person to check for botches.

Sing your heart out! Show the world your delightful voice! Learn English melodies and chime in with them to further develop familiarity and sound… anybody for Karaoke?
Get a penfriend or use talk rooms, gatherings and local area destinations. In the event that you can't address somebody in English, this is the following best thing.
Shadow English CDs. Pay attention to a couple of sentences then, at that point rehash what you heard. Zero in on the musicality and sound.
Have English radio on in your home. Regardless of whether you are not effectively paying attention to it, you will in any case be preparing your ears.

Utilize an English/English word reference as it will assist you with continuing deduction in English and not deciphering.
In the event that an English/English word reference appears to be terrifying, there are student's word references for English understudies of your level.
Try not to turn out to be too dependent on your word reference. Your word reference ought to be a guide, not your principle educator. Attempt to figure the importance of words as opposed to going straight for your word reference.

Keep yourself motivated by looking back at the textbooks and CDs you used in the past. You’ll be surprised at how easy they seem to you now! Congratulations, your level is improving!
You are never too young or too old to start learning English. Don’t make excuses not to learn. What are you waiting for?
Procrastination can stop you from being successful. To stop procrastinating, it's important you understand if your procrastinating is to avoid studying, or if it is your bad habit.
If you haven’t gotten the results you wanted yet, it’s not because you’re bad at languages, it’s because you haven’t found your own special way of learning yet.
Use resources which match your level. Don’t use texts/listening exercises which are too difficult or too easy. Use materials which challenge you but don’t frustrate you.
Don’t worry about making your accent perfect. It’s an important part of your cultural identity to keep your accent. Native English speakers enjoy hearing English spoken with an accent.
There are many types of English: British, American, South African and so on. None of these are wrong or not as important. English is English.
Instead, be aware of the differences in American and British English and use your words accordingly. For example: Elevator (US) / Lift (British).
Carry cue cards with you. These are small cards which you can write new words on. You can pull them out and look at them whenever you a free minute.
Use post-it notes and stick them around your home. You can use them to label things. Stick one on your pet dog!
You can’t ignore phrasal verbs (two words verbs), there are hundreds of them in English and they’re widely used. The more you focus on their meaning, the more you’ll be able to guess the meaning of new ones. You’ll start to recognise their patterns.
Use your intuition. Go with your gut feeling, you’ll be surprised how often your first guess is the right guess. Like we said before, be confident.
Gather your thoughts. Take a second to think about what you’re going to say. You know the grammar, but maybe you don’t use it correctly when you speak.
Meet new people. Make the effort to mix with English speakers in your town. You could join a club or go to bars where foreigners hang out. Buy one a drink, they love that!
Be the person to start conversations in English. Try to keep the conversations moving and use listening words (‘really?’ / ‘go on…’/ ‘what happened then?’) Don’t wait for others to speak to you. Get in there!
Debate. Discuss topics in a group. Each person should choose a viewpoint (even if you don’t agree with it) and debate it within the group. Make sure you get your point across. Learn to listen actively. Active listening will help in the classroom and it will help you get more out of, and contribute more to, group study sessions. Focus on the person who is talking. Don’t fidget or become distracted by other people or events. Concentrate on the speaker with your ears and eyes. Follow the movements the speaker makes in an effort to hear more. It may help to repeat what you hear others say in an effort to understand their thoughts.
It’s not enough to only learn English words. You can teach a parrot English words but that doesn’t mean it can speak English! You still need to have an understanding of grammar.
Verb tenses are used by English speakers to talk about the timing of actions. You might not have the same expressions in your own language. It’s important that you know these tenses and when to use them.
English has many irregular verbs. You should drill yourself on them.
Keep it up! If you take a break from speaking English, you will find that your level decreases and all your hard work has been wasted.
Don’t be put off by a bad test score. Sometimes students have the ability to pass an English test, but can’t communicate well with English speakers. If you can speak freely in English, you should be proud of yourself.
Remember that as long as you have tried your hardest, you have succeeded!
Learn English with a friend. You’ll have someone you can practise with and you can motivate each other to study.
Remember, the way we write English is not the same as how it’s pronounced. For example ‘Ough’ has over 6 pronunciations. Familiarise yourself the Phonetic Alphabet. It will help you correctly pronounce words in the dictionary.
Get used to the ‘schwa’ sound [É™] - an unstressed and toneless neutral vowel sound. ‘Schwa’ is the most common vowel sound in English. For example, the 'a' in about and the 'u' in supply.
Keep in mind that it takes longer to improve when our level is high. Usually the fastest progress is made when we are beginners. Don’t think that you’re suddenly not learning anymore, it’s just a less noticeable progress.
Make sure that your English matches the occasion. It’s OK to use slang with friends but not in a business meeting. Decide in which situation it’s appropriate to use the words and phrases you have learned.
Textbook English is often different from the way we casually speak. To learn casual ‘slang’ watch movies.
Idioms can be difficult to memorise, but they are great fun to use and they’ll make your English more colourful.
When talking we usually link words together so that two words can sound like one. Simply put, we link words ending with a consonant sound to words beginning with a vowel sound (consonant > vowel). We link words ending with a vowel sound to words beginning with a vowel sound (vowel > vowel). Practise these to improve your listening and pronunciation.
Make use of the internet. It’s full of resources to help you learn: BBC Learning English ; learnenglish.ecenglish.com
Think about your strong and weak points. Write down which areas you want to improve on and work on improving them. Of course, don’t ignore your strong points. Congratulate yourself on how well you’ve done!
Unlearn your mistakes. You probably make the same grammar mistakes over and over again. Use English tests results as a study tool. Go over your mistakes and choose one or two that you want to focus on. Use your favourite grammar book to check rules.
Use the correct article (a/an, the). Be aware that there is more to this rule than a/an= non specific, the=specific. For example: A university (not an university because it begins with a consonant sound). An hour (not a hour because the ‘h’ is often silent).
For fluency, try image training. Before you go to that restaurant think through what the waiter is likely to say to you. Think of what phrases you are going to use.
Much communication comes through body language and gesture. These can be different between cultures and countries. For example, the two-fingered "V" for victory symbol is fine palms-out. If you make it with you palm facing toward you, you'll offend a British person. It means…well, you ask a British person and find out for yourself!
The easiest one - Sleep! You’ll learn more after a good night’s sleep. You’ll be able to concentrate more.
Take an English course in an English speaking country.
If you studying abroad, mix with people from other countries not only people from your own country. It’s not a good idea for you to live in a shared house with people from your own country. Enjoy a more cultural experience by spending time with other nationalities.
Have you thought about getting a job or doing an internship abroad?
Get yourself a qualified teacher. Who wants to learn wrong things?
Nobody can learn all of the English language. No need to worry about trying. A useful shortcut to learning is that in English we have lots of words that have the same pronunciation, but a different spelling and meaning. For example, ‘come here’ has the same pronunciation as, ‘I can hear the birds’. You might find it easier to build vocabulary by knowing the different meanings.
Once you have a basic level of English explore the different ways you can say the same thing. This makes your English more interesting to the listener and it shouldn’t be too difficult for you because you already know the basics. For example, how many ways can we say, ‘Goodbye' in English?
When you are on your English course, be prepared for your class. Do your homework as soon as possible and hand it in on time. Review your notes and your last lesson a few minutes before the class. Doing this will refresh your memory and you'll be warmed up for lesson.
Don't get distracted in class. Focus on the lesson, don't stare out of the window. Don't be late, arrive a few minutes before the start of the lesson. Don't sit next to people who won't speak to you in English. Switch off your phone. Be organised, remember to take your textbook, notebook and pen.
Find a comfortable, peaceful place for quiet study. You need somewhere where you can focus 100%.
Last but not least.
