It depends on how YOU learn the best. Are you really outgoing and like to have a lot of friends? Try and make friends through italki, Facebook, blogs, etc. Join chat groups. Are you quieter and do you like to read a lot? Read as much as you can in English, find a really good friend with whom you can speak in English and practice a lot. Do you like online courses or in-person courses? Choose the best for YOU. Whatever you do, do a little bit everyday. Or a lot. You will learn faster the more you study and speak. Bottom line: if you like the learning process, you will learn more...and have a lot of fun doing it.
