Like was said.. Only use English the entire time, and join some groups. If you meet people from the same country as you, you should speak English together (yes, it will feel strange!). Even when you are alone, try to think in English --- have imaginary conversations in your head. When other people are talking, try to say everything they say (silently). You should pretend like you are speaking.... move your tongue and lips as if you are making the sounds ;) ...It's really hard, but will improve your speaking speed and your concentration on English. (This is called "shadowing", "shadow talking" or "mimicking" if you want to look for more info) This one is really hard... but don't be shy and don't be afraid to make mistakes. To improve speaking you have to speak ;) ..Ask strangers for the time, or ask them for directions.... even if you don't need them. These will not be long conversations, but it is still good practice :) It may seem strange to some people... but reading a lot helps your vocabulary and grammar, which will help your speaking. Just read and don't use a dictionary until a word you really want to know comes up 3-5 times. Reading is meant to be fun, it's not meant to be a difficult and boring job. There are lots of things, but as long as you stay away from everthing that isn't English... you should improve somewhat ....good luck!

Make a list about the basic things you need to know about every topic you are going to deal with there. Learn useful questions and answers. Learn vocabulary and try to speak in English as much as you can.

Hi, First of all, one month is not enough to learn any language, but try not to use your native language during that time. I went to Utah for two months and I improved my English skills. Another thing, try to join all the extra activities organized by the institution that you are attending. If you have any other question don't hesitate to let me know. Mary

Practice, Practice and Practice. Keep at it, keep speaking and keep reading. Speak as much as you can with a native speaker and write if necessary to gain more insight. Once you want something badly enough, you will get it.
