1. Listen - Do a lot of listening. If you aren't on this website, listen to your teacher, the radio, TV, video cassettes, audio cassettes--anything you can get your hands on. Just listen to English as much as you can stand it and you will learn a lot.

2. Match sounds to words - When you listen to the language, look at the letters and words that match the sounds. This will help you with reading.

3. Write - Everytime you learn something new, write it down in a notebook. This will help you to remember what you have learned.

4. Read - Try to read English one hour every day. Yes, this is difficult, but English is a very big language, and the only way to learn essential vocabulary is to read it.

5. Speak - Whenever you have the opportunity, speak English. This will be hard to do if you don't live in an English-speaking country; however, the internet provides new opportunities to practice speaking through chat rooms (which is mostly just text for now) and through audio-video chat technology, such as is available through an Apple computer.

6. Use the internet - Find one or two or three different free websites that you can go to daily. Don't pay for instruction over the internet. Some websites require monthly or yearly fees and they aren't worth it. This website will always be free. My costs are covered by Google Ads.

7. Learn from a teacher - If it's possible you should try to learn from as many different teachers as possible, but at the very least find one teacher and learn what you can from that person.
