I believe the best way to learn good English is to stop talking in your native tongue! If you keep speaking in your language, then you might still have an accent mixed with your English words when speaking. I tried teaching English to some young ladies from Vietnam. I found why it was so hard for them to pronounce English words. Their mouth was trained for their language. So I would practice showing them how to move their tongue and lips the English way. That made a big difference too. For instance: take the word seven. English speaking people put their front teeth on top of their bottom lip which will make the v sound properly. If you don't do that, it will sound like seben. Hope this helps!
thank you!!! :) but I can't really say the letters "r". because i can't its hard :- (

Watch Television/Netflix, turn on the subtitles to English. If you’re watching a Television show in English, turn on the subtitles to your language.
Sing along to English songs. Taylor Swift pronounces her words well, I would recommend her to sing a long too. Be-friend English speakers. This will force you to better your English.
Well, for starters you can try to watch movies without subtitles. Also, whatever genre of content you enjoy watching on YouTube, find the same content but in English. Are you a gaming fanatic? A DIY lover? Perhaps you like vlogs? You can find watch English-speaking YouTubers more often. Finally, you can try to put yourself out of your comfort zone and speak English more in your daily life.
Hopefully that helps, and best of luck in your journey 👍🏾

When I wanted to learn Hebrew I followed an audio file that read the bible to me in Hebrew and I followed the words being written while I listened to the sound. Google also tells you how to pronounce words so find an online file to read and then one by one ask Google to tell you how to pronounce the word or look for an audio mp3 and written combination for reading the bible and listening to its vocalization in English so you learn grammar and pronunciation.

Find any English speaking friend who will talk and listen to you. It's only a matter of time. The problem with learning any language is you have to use it. Even native English speakers will find it hard to from sentences if they go a few days without talking to anyone.
You can improve your English by reading or watching English language movies. But I think the best way would be to speak to someone who is well versed in the language. Another way would be to chat with someone online that could be helpful. I have done this for a couple of girls and at least their writing skills improved. I would be willing to help you if you wish, just message me.

Something that worked well for me.
Find someone online who is a native English speaker who wants to learn your native language and become "Speaking Buddies" over the Internet using Zoom or Skype.
Each of you can teach each other !!!

There's plenty of language apps like duolingo that will teach you the basics but it really helps if you can get a tutor to guide you through the tricky bits.
One good trick is to learn how to expand a sentence, it will teach you grammar and increase your vocabulary. For example Ball. Red ball Big red ball Large red ball Large red sphere Large dark red sphere Large crimson sphere Enormous crimson sphere And so on
Read, watch shows and movies, listen to podcasts, etc. That's what I did to teach my girlfriend English, and vise versa with Chinese for me. You should also try to talk to native English speakers as much as possible, and even non-native speakers, as long as they're fluent. You might also find some helpful language teaching apps or programs. My personal favorite is Rosetta Stone, although you have to pay for it. But it's worth the money if you want it.

Go to an English academy. Or just practice more on here. Or use Duolingo or Lingodeer (language apps).
In fact, if you know the basic words and read them by spelling, you can easily understand a sentence. This is how i do it. but I get help from translation in a small paragraph consisting of many sentences. Because the "wh+ conjunctions" used between sentences confuses me.

Practice, practice, practice. Read books in English, watch movies with English subtitles or without subtitles at all and if possible practice with someone who speaks English fluently.
