Listen to spoken English as much as you can. When a person is speaking, you need input that is understandable, such as pictures and gestures, or people moving around to express what they say. Watching television commercials is one way to learn to listen and understand English because the people use many gestures, and they show how the product is used while they talk about it. Another way to listen is to take a class that focuses on communication. If the class focuses on grammar, you won't learn much because the instruction usually doesn't provide pictures and gestures to make the words you are working with understandable.
Read in English after you learn some basic vocabulary words. Make sure that you read books, magazines, newspapers and Internet sites that contain pictures. The pictures will help you to understand what you are reading. If you don't know a word while you are reading, type it into Google images to get a picture of it. Each day you practice reading you will get better at reading and listening. If you are in an English-speaking country, visit stores and restaurants and read the signs and menus. Words are often displayed above items being sold, and pictures of the food are often shown on the menu.
Speak English as much as possible after you begin understanding basic conversations. You will make mistakes at first. It's best to ignore them and move on. The mistakes you make can be corrected later when you get more proficient. You won't learn as much English if you have someone constantly interrupting and correcting you when you speak. Most English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers know this, so that they will let you finish speaking first, and then will repeat what you say correctly.
