Tips:

-Write often in English. 

-Speak often in English (~Even if it is to yourself; look up words you don't know how to say. There is less pressure if you are talking to yourself and you can spend all the time you need looking up new vocabulary.)

-Read often in English. Start with children's books if your vocabulary is limited. The more you read, the better.

-Listen to English often. Try to keep yourself somewhat immersed. Watch movies and TV shows WITHOUT looking at the subtitles and see how much you can understand. Try to hear each word separate from each other, even if you don't understand the meaning. When you can hear each individual word in a sentence, it will be easier for you to understand native speakers when they talk to you.

-Don't focus on memorizing words, focus on using words. Only focus on memorizing words when you are JUST starting to use a new language. Chinese people I know who memorize words on a daily basis (do nothing else), have a terrible command of the English language. Balance is key.
-Come up with a goal and work towards it. Don't put your attention on too many things at once. If you are using a textbook, only use that textbook. Don't get overwhelmed with too many materials or it will get confusing and you are more likely to give up. Give yourself a goal, maybe to understand the lyrics of a song, or to be able to read the first paragraph of a book.
-Stay positive and good luck!

    Hello Chris.

  Here is my method.

  First, I give a student a song to study.  I sometimes sing the song for the student, and e-mail them a copy of the words.  I give them a link to you tube  or  suggest that they find a video performance of the song on  some website.

    After that I read over the words, and have the student repeat the words for me, a few words at a time.   This method words.

    If you can actually sing the song for yourself, so much the better.

Music and rythm  are powerful aids to learning, as you will learn if you try this.

  This works, because the words (lyrics) to songs use common spoken language.

I explain the slang,  and give definitions where I can.

  I usually work on about 1 song per week, but you can practice the song over, and over and over, which gives you the pronunciation practice and vocabulary practice you need.

  I do not recommend  a movie per se,  unless you can read Subtitles or have a copy of the script. You need to be able to  See,  Hear,   Say, and even write out by hand,  the words, to have the full Multi-Sensory   effect.

    Merely reading English does not help very much unless you are already advanced in speaking.

    I usually begin with the Carole King  song,  "You've Got a Friend".

  After several months of practicing this way, the student finds that they can being to speak with some ease, without the difficulties commonly associated with Shyness and other problems.

    I have taught many students from many countries using this method.

You can even look for a teacher or friend who will agree to teach you this way.

   Still,  movies can be used, for example if you have the lyrics to the songs of a "Musical" that you can listen to over and over by watching the movie.  One movie that I currently do this with is the Musical  "Oliver" by Lionel Bart,  starring Mark Lester as the boy.   The other benefit of this movie is that it makes you familar with the roots of Western Culture. This movie is based, for example, upon the Charles Dickens novel,  Oliver Twist.  

      After a basic vocabulary is established,   I lead the student into reading some of my book reviews and philosophical dialogues.  The vocabulary contained therein is even stronger.  I guide the student carefully into a basic comprehension of concepts in Science,  Law,  Philosophy and Theology, by which   can draw upon   so that you can write about ideas and speak about ideas and abstract conceptions with confidence.----Warm Regards,  Bruce
