1. READ READ READ and READ somemore
2. Maybe try to read a lot, and if you find a word that you can't understand in the book - look it up in a dictionary... Then use that word a lot when you speak. I hope I've helped.
3. you need to learn up the vocabularies in order to improve your writing skill..while for speaking, speak more in english with your friends and family...for listening skill, listen to the news in tv or radio, try to catch each word they said. and read more english books, magazines, novels....no worries...you can do it...
4. Excellent answer by rockstar. Yes, read, read, read. Also, you can listen to books on tape which will help you with the listening. If you are a foreign speaking student, I'd also advise that you go to the local college and see if there is anyone who is studying your language and would be willing to work with you while you work with them. By sharing and helping each other, you will both learn your languages better.
5. Writing- Try just writing anything. You can look at a book and try writing the paragraphs down. Of course you need a model. Click on the link: http://www.enchantedlearning.com/letters/cursiveall.shtml Try writing these letters in these forms. Reading- If you are at school volunteer to read when a teacher ask. If you are at home just pick anything random to read. You should also try reading out loud. You would know how you sound and improve. Just try reading everything. Signs in the street, books, etc. Speaking- Make some friends that their first language is English. Always try to say something. Don't be afraid that you might say something that can't be understood. I had that problem. Try speaking English with your households as well. Speaking just comes automatically when you speak and listen a lot. Listening- Watch movies, anime ( mature form of cartoon), etc. Also try being around people and listen carefully. You can learn listening better by watching TV shows. I had to do some of these things to improve my English. I am trying for Spanish. E-mail me if you need more help: zaem05@yahoo.com
