5 things you can do to improve your English 1, Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Be confident. People can only correct your mistakes when they hear you make them. 2, Surround yourself in English. Put yourself in an all English speaking environment where you can learn passively. The best way to learn is through speaking. 3, Practise every day. Make yourself a study plan. Decide how much time a week you are going to spend studying and stick to it. Establish a routine. 4, Keep a notebook of new words you learn. Use them in sentences and try to say them at least 3 times when you speak. 5, You will find words easier to remember if you try to remember an example sentence using that word rather the word on its own.
