I think there are four main skills you have to work on: 1. Speaking: Once you learn how to pronounce a word, you should try to make sentences with it. You can find a friend who is more proficient in English than you and you could chat with him or her, it's the best way. You can also talk to yourself if you feel insecure to speak to someone else, but make sure nobody is around. haha Another useful way is by singing, if you're able to. 2. Listening: Everybody says this is the hardest skill to improve. I think that's because everybody focus on the spelling of the word instead of paying attention to its pronunciation. You should learn the pronunciation of the word and then learn the spelling. A way of improving your listening skill is listening to songs in English language, as well as watching movies, tv shows and series with subtitles. You can improve it by chatting with another person too. 3. Writing: the English spelling is totally different from the spelling of my native language, so it was hard for me at the beginning, but the only thing you can do about is write! Write, write and write. I don't know, write a note, a composition, a comment, a letter, an e-mail or even on MSN, facebook, twitter and etc..., but always remember to spell it properly. If you always spell it right you won't have problems when writing more formal things such documents, e-mails and letters - you must remember you have to use more polite and labored words and sentences. 4. Reading: I bet most of people think that improving their reading skills is always boring because they don't like to read books. I love reading books but if you don't, you don't have to read them to improve it. Read a magazine, read the newspaper, read something that pleases you. If no ones is around, you can read it out loud, it will help a lot. Good luck with your studies!

Experts have always said that English is the most difficult language to learn as a second language. The BEST way to learn English is to live in an English-speaking country. The second best way is to do what the experts at the examining comapanies (like IELTS, TOEFL) say. They say to study English for 5 hours every day for 3 months and do EVERYTHING in English. Read newspapers, watch TV, talking...just totally drop your native language during those 5 hours daily.
