teach me chinese, I will teach you English, Is this ok with you?

哎...同问！！

Learning how to study any language takes time and patience but English has the biggest advantage of all languages: it is spoken by people on every continent and in every country (and I would say in most neighborhoods around the world). This means that you have an endless amount of resources at your disposal. Learning English will require you to talk and practice English with native speakers, watch English speaking shows such as Friends, Desperate Housewives, Bones, House, etc. If you like to read, there are many free sites to download English books: scribd.com, planetpdf.com, lorencollins.net/freecomic, and you can/should also read the news daily in English on such sites as news.google.com. What else? Watching movies in English is also a fun and easy way of learning English without feeling like you are working hard. Only time and effort can help a person study a language well. The more time you put in the better. The minimum amount of time to learn any language at a decent proficiency (high intermediate to advanced level) is approximately 10,000 hours or 416 days or nearly 1 year and 2 months. So the tips are: 1) practice daily for at least 30 minutes (doesn't matter what medium you use) 2) try to make it fun using movies, newspapers, books, music, etc. 3) find someone who speaks the language well and practice at least once a week (I recommend at least 3 times a week) 4) have LOTS of patience. Everyone on this site is learning or teaching a language and most people are more than glad to help because they know what it is like to struggle learning a language. Good luck.
