Really My friend I think there is no shortcut to this. You must practice using the language, chatting with english friends and maybe listen to songs in English. It doesn't have to be all work! Play games online for learning english or look at websites for learning english... Surely if you do this often enough for a long time your speaking and reading skills will improve greatly :) http://www.freexinwen.com/chinese/eng/eng.htm http://www.internetpolyglot.com/
