From Kenneth Beare's blog:
Here are some tips to improving English both in how your learn and via the internet.
- Remember that learning a language is a gradual process - it does not happen overnight.
- Vary your learning routine. It is best to do different things each day to help keep the various relationships between each area active. In other words, don't just study grammar.
- Choose listening and reading materials that relate to what you are interested in. Being interested in the subject will make learning more enjoyable - thus more effective.
- Relate grammar to practical usage. Grammar by itself does not help you USE the language. You should practice what you are learning by employing it actively.
- Move your mouth! Understanding something doesn't mean the muscles of your mouth can produce the sounds. Practice speaking what you are learning aloud. It may seem strange, but it is very effective.
- Be patient with yourself. Remember learning is a process - speaking a language well takes time. It is not a computer that is either on or off!
- Communicate! There is nothing like communicating in English and being successful. Grammar exercises are good - having your friend on the other side of the world understand your email is fantastic!
- Use the Internet. The Internet is the most exciting, unlimited English resource that anyone could imagine and it is right at your finger tips.
- Be patient with yourself.
- Practice, practice, practice
