You can for example turn every tools on your computer into english, such as: your operating system, your internet browser, text editor, spreadsheet...
You can even do the same with your smartphone.

The most effective way to learn English, is to use it. You can learn song lyrics or sing along to your favourites songs, that's a great way to improve both reading and listening while having fun !

You should also watch all English or American movies in their original version, with ENGLISH subtitles. You should never watch anything dubbed, or with french subtitles. It doesn't matter if you don't understand half of the movie, the frist time you'll miss some words but the second and the third time you'll notice that you can understand almost everything !

I can assure you that I've never learned English in school, I learned it mainly by watching movies ..

I could not agree more with Sashiki, I spent hours in English University and whereas I learned a lot of vocabulary and grammar, it did not help as well oral communication as US TV Shows & songs did

Sashiki's right regarding the subtitles too, english is far better and you'll memorize tons of new words this way. If I may, I consider TV Shows better than movies : you have to focuse for 2hours in order to watch a movie whereas 25mn are already pretty good for a TV Show. I would advise you to check the Comedy TV Shows because they're funny and I'm sure our brain remembers better what we hear if we laugh too. Maybe I'm wrong but if you watch a crime TV Show, there will be no fun learning english if the characters are dealing with a dead body (you know what I mean)

So yeah, nothing's better than TV & Songs, depending on what's haram or not of course, let us know if you need some tips about good funny TV Shows !

That's true, comedy shows such as Friends or How I Met Your Mother use relatively easy vocabulary and are really fun to watch with English subtitles.

Do this, it's quite effective to get the basics.

Now if you want to improve it because you already have the basis, you need to use it for real. Find some english friends to talk with (internet can help), or if you can afford it, spend some weeks/months in a english speaking country. You can have all the vocabulary in the world, if you don't train your brain to speak it, you will struggle.

Hi Hans sama,

You did good by starting a topic here in Yabi. I will add a couple of advice in addition of those In that have been given to you:

o Listen to the radio in English (e.g., the news, ads);
o Watch television in English (e.g., news programs. soap operas);
o Visit English-language social media sites;
o Foster friendly encounters with Anglophone colleagues, friends and neighbours;
o Sign up for professional training, sports and cultural activities for English speakers;
o Visit English-speaking towns, places and institutions;
Etc...


Remember, all the efforts you could made to achieve your language level could go to waste without an effective learning retention strategy, so be proactive. Take advantage of all formal and informal opportunities to speak your second official language.
Ask your anglophone colleagues/friends for support and assistance in maintaining and improving your communication skills.
Target realistic objectives and assess them regularly; you can take risks but don’t let your mistakes discourage you, in the contrary keep your personal lexicon “alive” and continue to enrich it and especially, enjoy speaking your english language.

You can create a topic where for example you ask everyone to bring a new english word and we look for the meaning then we put it in a phrase... let's call it "a new word per day" (just an example).

Good luck

Kabi

I wanna learn English too

Hello,

Language is like fitness, the more you practice, the more you will have what you want.

The best way to learn English (or any language) is to hear it and speak it EVERY SINGLE DAY until you master it a bit. Use Television, internet, forums, movies, travel, make friends with native people and so on. Zen

hello, the best way is to chat with people..thus you can learn english without feeling bored..you can even spend long hours chatting and learning without feeling tired.

Salam,

I see you've already been given some very wise advices, hence I shall only add a link to a website that allows you to connect with people from all around the world and communicate with them in the language of your choice.
You can start by texting but I suggest you try talking with them as much as possible because oral communication is usually a big step to take yet so important. Also it's a mutual exchange, meaning while you learn their language, they can also learn yours, you could switch from one tongue to the other when you guys chose to.

Enjoy ^^
