In many ways this depended on my level. In the very beginning I used some study books to learn the basics of English. But those were books for children and they didn't have any grammar rules written to study, so I had to figure them out by myself, which, I believe, is much more healthy than trying to memorize the rules. When my passive vocabulary reached 3-4 thousand words I stopped using study books and started reading a lot of fiction. Every time I met an unknown word I put it down on my notebook along with the context phrase. That helped me to not only memorize some separate words, but to memorize the whole prases or word combinations. Besides, now I'm trying to use some new "revolutionary" :-) methods of learning English. You can find them here: effortlessenglish.com and talkenglish.com. Eslpod.com is a cool site also. Those are very helpful for me.

Rainy is right.

First you learn some vocabulary, then you learn basic tenses, then you practice a lot and learn more vocabulary. Later you learn all tenses and enough vocabulary to chat. Then you chat every day if can, so that your brain gets used to using English. You just add vocabulary more and more. I think for me after knowing grammar chatting, watching movies, cartoons, reading news in English really helped. You need surround yourself with language and use it every day =)

My dear, studying english or any language is very easy which is one side. The other way is to put into practice by interacting with people through different sources makes u perfect. The italki seems to be inconvienient for audio chat and doesn't support even typing chat always.This is happening due to overload on server causing slow performance and we being vexed.To come out from this problem I'm available at skype as rk.spkezy for ur services. Thanking you. Regards AAR KAY
