How tdo I improve my English? [BIG EDIT]

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=How+tdo+I+improve+my+English%3F ;D

Pick up books you like and read them in english. Watch TV series in english, WITHOUT subtitles (it's crucial), possibly something that has to do with every day life, because that's the vocabulary you're most likely going to use the most, from what you wrote.
Have fun over there! :)

read a book in english or register in some language trade pages
i'm pretty sure that you can find a guy who wants to learn italian and in exange he can teach you english in one of these webpages.

Other than the obvious suggestion of watching TV, I'd say point & click adventure games. They're dialog heavy and fun.

Honestly my english was pretty good... until i got to an english speaking country.

The vocabulary is not an issue, whatever might be missing you will get it quick, mainly slang, expressions etc.

But the accent, the accent ! Try to find a drunk street guy talking super fast. That would be a useful training. And try to improve your accent. Talk to yourself, talk to the walls, talk to your feets, but talk. Don't just listen to a movie, repeat every sentence.

Find an online translator with voice reading option, listen to the pronunciation, then record your voice, listen to it and repeat until you sound similar. After a while you'll get the basic rules and speaking without obvious accent will come naturally.

LiveMocha, you can talk to natives, it's free! :)

Cartoon Network. And i'm being serious.

I think i learned more from that channel than from any lesson i took in school.

Oh god, that video got me so bad. Thanks!

Ps. I heard that Malta's people can't speak proper english.
Pps. You should try to speak in english with your friends and/or set up a play.

I'd be happy to help you, I'm a fluent English speaker, being English and all that jazz :)

Bump for solved!

Other than playing games and more games, I read some abridged novel by Oxford publisher I guess, years ago. Much better than reading thick novels.

If you have some English speaking friends try to talk to them (skype?). But the best thing I know is playing games in English with English subs. It was hard to me to understand all of speech in games and movies because of accent and other things so I read subs.

Already mentioned on the top of the page, but since it helped me a lot i will quote it:

Watch Series in English without subtitles!!!!!

What part of the US are you going to? Some regional dialects can be brutal, even for us native yanks.

Talk and interact with people in English. Fastest way to learn.

seems fine to me, is this more of an accent thing than a language thing so it doesn't come across online? I'd advise communicating by text message as much as possible(kidding you'll be fine. try ordering fastfood near my area and then worry about thick accents;) accents are rarely incomprehensible and they know you're foreign)

(besides most americans don't know what italians sound like, just don't yell "weehee" or add random a to the end of a word(ex: "itsa mario time") and try not to fistpump or abuse fake tanner too much and you'll probably be assumed midwestern since nobody knows what they actually sound like or where it is.)

you type fine and english is a good enough language people will usually only misunderstand if they're deliberately trying to hear only the accent. just be confident and use what english you've got. If I could understand my chinese professor people will understand you.

or just show up. thats what I'd do. visitors learn a language bah the Americans should all learn italian to talk to you. what you have to say is interesting and has value.
works for America (and to a lesser extent mexico, but canada hasn't had much luck(although look at quebeq. be aggressively demanding as hell and numbers are irrelevant. 5-15% of the country backasswardly got the entire rest to be bilingual by not backing down...then again the people who live in 'merica's hat are soo passive and compromise heavy this may not be the best example...if you meet a canadian ask them how they got their mapleleaf of meh for a flag. odd the only things they can push for are french language and american milk) you've gotta be pushy to pull it off. england spain ect all the imperial powers did it too, just show up and people need to learn their language come to think of it but they stopped for some reason) confidence is key. try and stay in the headspace that if people don't speak your language adding volume can bruteforce understanding(or atleast attract somebody more important who knows it). foriegn languages are like talking to the deaf or using a cellphone.
I'm sure you've seen american tourists on tv
we're a pretty big deal
, just follow our lead and people will respect you for it.

Just sit there and watch English movies without subtitles.At least that's how I learned, people say my prononcing is great.

The best way to learn a language is by practicing. If you start hear then talking you will get comfortable with the accent. And, with the time, steal their accent. Each region of the US has their own vocabulary, so it's the same deal: practice

Start watching a lot of English TV Shows like Breaking Bad, House of Cards, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead et cetera. It's really easy to learn new words, phrases - even accent. Watch it with subtitles and every time you see a word you don't know write it down.

I watched movies and shows with captions.

Talking with people is also helpful.

I think following english speaking youtuber is one of the best things to learn pronuncation of words and sentences, but you hav to know that most of it is slang. for me i think i learned more from the internet and interacting with those people, than in school.

The dictionary. If you need to learn new words and get examples for how they are used, the dictionary is your friend. Of course, you're not supposed to read it if it's in book form but try going onto www.dictionary.com and take a look at some words you don't know. I would suggest, like many others have mentioned previously, watching some some good English television shows with subtitles on. If you don't understand a word, pause the show if it's a recording or write the word down for later and look it up when you can. dictionary.com has made me leap in great bounds past most of my English conundrums.
