I have seen many members asking how to learn English. I am giving below some of the tips that have helped me over the years.

1) Written English: In order to improve your written English you must read, read and read. Reading is one of the best ways of improving any language. Be it English or any other language. You should never feel bored by reading. I have seen many people saying ‘I don’t understand this article..oh the words are too difficult to understand’. You should never give up by just thinking that something is difficult to read or understand. Challenge your brain and keep reading and you will find that your are able to grasp things gradually. Later you can think about any subject of your interest and then try to write it down.

2) Spoken English: In order to improve your spoken English you must be a good listener first. Listen to English news, watch English programmes on TV or watch movies. Listen carefully to the conversation happening between two people. Next time when you speak with someone, then try using the words or sentences that you heard in those conversations. It is not important to speak like an American or British. Think naturally and speak slowly. If you make mistake then don’t worry. After constant practicing you will see that you are able to automatically speak with people. When speaking English do not try to use complex words. This will only confuse the listeners and you will not be accepted. Try to be as simple as possible. Try to train your brain and mind to pick words and sentences automatically rather than converting your mother tongue to English.

The above tips are not exhaustive. These are some tips that I know which has helped me a lot. There may be other tips by expert native English speakers here.
