How tdo I improve my English? [BIG EDIT]

Thanks for all the answers! I really appreciate them, I made an edit so I don't have to answer to everyone and no one is gonna feel uselss (because you all helped!) So just another question: could radio help me? I prefer rock music but I also appreciate pop so I think any radio should be fine, any idea of what I could find online? Maybe a good radio with less music and more news/talking would be fine!

I spent 10 years in Ireland. First I spent a lot of time with people talking my own language, and then my english did not improve, but once i was only spending time with people who spoke english, it automatically worked to learn english.

One thing I noticed over and over again during my 10 years, is that so many people from France, Italy and Spain come to Ireland for 1 year to learn English, but then they only spend time with people from their own countries. After 1 year they still can't speak properly English.

So whatever you do, spend time with people who speak English and not your own language!

Hey OP I don't know what type of English you currently know, British or American (or other like Canadian...), but my guess is that in school they taught you British. I just want to point out that British and American English are slightly different. For example some differences that you might want to know is that in the U.S. flat fried thin potato ovals are "potato chips", instead of "crisps" and long fried potato sticks are "French Fries" instead of "Chips". In the U.S. "Chips" are like made of corn, are flat, and are good for dipping in salsa :P. Also, in the U.S. "napkins" are what you clean your hands with at a meal, I believe in British English they are called "Serviettes". Have fun and be safe!

Which country of America are you going? America is a big continent and is not all the country that English is the main language.

Improving yourself in a foreign language comes down to two things:
1) Improving your pronunciation.
2) Expanding your vocabulary.

The rules and usage of the language will come through exposure and practice, so you don't really have to worry about that part.

To address #1 and #2, you will need to hear and read English. That can be done by watching TV/movies/video and reading newspapers/news articles. USING YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE WILL SLOW THE LEARNING PROCESS. The human brain is lazy and will take the easiest way out (thinking in your native language) if you give it that option. Force yourself to stick to English.
