Enroll in a course – Find one in your area or at a school or college nearby. Doing an online course too can make a difference if you want flexible hours. Start with an elementary English course.

Learn grammar – Because as a language English is complex and a word may not necessarily sound like how it looks.

A new word every day – Learning a new English word each day and incorporating it in your vocabulary really helps in grasping the language faster.

Get an English-speaking friend – Practice is as important as learning which is why conversing with an English-speaking friend goes a long way in helping you figure out how far you have reached in mastering the language.

Read books in English / watch an English movie – If reading the classics is too much start small with children’s books with structured sentences. Even watching movies with subtitles can be useful. Listen to the pronunciations and you are on your way.

Perfect your accent – Whilst pronunciations are important you must remember that there are many dialects of English. So when you are learning to speak English focus on which place/area you will be using it.
