Language uses several areas of the brain for comprehension, retrieval, synthesis and speaking. Educational psychologists recognize three major learning styles that utilize multiple areas of the brain: visual, verbal and kinesthetic. Even if you learn dominantly in one style, consider including other strategies to engage all mental processes. You can increase your fluency skills verbally by reading in English for extended periods of time; some learners read only in English for an entire year and ignore their native language, for example. Visual learners will associate English vocabulary with images and will create their own images as they learn. Kinesthetic learners can increase their fluency by touching and moving---objects and themselves---while learning.
Use technology as your inexpensive and convenient resource to accelerate your learning. Reading well-composed English texts from news sources, professional writers, and even fictional literature on-line will strengthen your comprehension and appreciation of proper syntax, grammar and vocabulary while often providing photographs for better comprehension. Create your own English-language blog to practice your writing skills and encourage your readers to offer feedback. You can watch and listen to native English speakers on YouTube and other video sites and post your own videos in English. Watching video will help you see fluent speakers use visual cues and even body language to help you to understand context and other communication cues. You can also seek full-length movies in English to hear scripted language of actors trained in pronunciation and enunciation. Repeating lines from dialogue is good practice of rhythm, speed and inflection.
Though classes and books offer a strong, standardized way of learning fundamental rules of syntax, grammar and vocabulary, academic learning has limitations and rarely leads to fluency. Reading, listening, writing and speaking in a live environment, however, will fully engage you as you increase in confidence and language skills. Begin with live-text chats in English language forums, and seek opportunities to speak on-line and in person with native English speakers. By speaking with someone face-to-face, you will see what she is speaking of, how she expresses herself, and can listen to English rhythms and inflections. You will also have someone giving immediate feedback to your speaking and comprehension.
