Read only in English. Instead of relying on print or electronic media in your first language, make the commitment to read English-language publications, including weblogs and web pages, to help build your English-speaking abilities.
Listen to music in English and read along with the lyrics until you know the songs by heart.
Watch DVDs in your first language with English subtitles, and then watch the same film in English with subtitles in your first language. Continue watching the same movie this way until you no longer need non-English subtitles to fully understand the dialogue.
Arrange for weekly language practice with a friend who is a native English speaker. Join your friend for lunch or coffee and speak only English while you are with them.
Watch English-language television. Find a show or two that you especially enjoy and watch it as often as you can, even the reruns. Hearing the same characters you are familiar with over and over can help you understand nuances in their use of humor or sarcasm that you might not get by watching a lot of different actors.
Join an English conversation group with friends from your language class. If you are not currently taking an English language class, consider joining one at your local adult education center.
Teach English to someone else. Teaching is sometimes the best way to learn something. Teach what you know to friends or family who understand less English than you. Start by making English vocabulary lists for your friends, such as a list of common fruits and vegetables, and you will improve your own vocabulary while helping them.
Learn a new word everyday. Use a "word a day" calender or simply look up a new word in the dictionary every morning and try to use it in that day's conversation.
Join an online ESL study center. Some of them are free.
