Start by flipping through an English study guide or reviewing online tutorials. Get a feel for the language by looking at what words look and sound like to get a flavor for it.
Begin by learning the basics. Get a grasp on the alphabet and numbers. Log-in to the BBC World Service "Learning English" pages to do this.
Use a study guide and language-learning CD to become familiar with grammar rules. Learn basic phrases such as "how are you?" or "where do you live?" to develop your ability to form sentences.
Use dictation exercises to develop your listening and writing skills. For example, go to the "Listen and Watch" tab on the British Council's website to review cartoons, podcasts or news programs that can help your conversational skills.
Keep a vocabulary list of new words and read over this before you go to sleep. Make sure you add words and phrases to the list every time you try and learn English.
Repeat conjugations of verbs to memorize them, and learn verbs in different tenses. Practice saying them over and over again. Use your resources to find the most relevant verbs in the beginning such as "to be", "to be able" or "to go".
Tune into English radio stations online at radiotower.com. Listen to English speakers to improve your skills. Although it will be difficult in the beginning, the more you listen, the more familiar the language will become.
