watch movies withouth subtitles, it makes wonders....
all you have to learn is the basic grammar, the very basic (how to form verb tenses, past, continous etc., adverbs, adjectives etc, but just very basic). and watching movies will give you an immense insight on phrase structure, increase your vocabulary and form accent. You don`t have to like all the movies, just watch them withouth subtitles.

good luck and enjoy, it`s the best & most pleasurable part of learning english.
you will see after a while that the subtitles are all dumb, cuz good puns & jokes can never be translated accurately or as funny as the original are.
Also, while listening to music on youtube or so, search for lyrics, try to see if you understand them as they are written... & sung... that also helps with vocabulary, listening & spelling ;)
Good luck!

More time, more than the back, do not be fraid of the wrong time, as long as you dare to speak on the half!Read on to learn English more and more back. Speak loudly. Back to words a day to listening, speaking , reading, writing, sooner or later have to read English, as well as review and preview English. I wish you learn English at an early date. In fact, the most important thing is that you do the lack of reading and listening skills exam; you also may be read off, do not have the details of the article, the English reading test many of the details of the examination.

If you want to speak like a native speaker of English, then perhaps it might help you to listen to the World Service, from the BBC.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/
It may help you get the idea of English sentence construction. It is normal to order words as Subject, Verb, Object, which you seem to be doing in your post, but as in everything in English, there are exceptions.
Try and speak with native English speakers.
all the best urban

Thank you,i'm quite happy to receive your respond.
it's helpful for me,my teacher also recommanded the BBC to us,
But i seldom pay my effort on it,because every teacher recommanded many En. learning website to us ,like CNN, VOA, ListeningExpress,BBC,etc. we always get confused.Which website can i focus on..
Since you had recommanded this BBC to me ,may be i can start my further study with BBC . I will make some progress in EN.Study. Thanks a lot

Thank you for your point of view.
but i think sometime things may not go on like what you want to do.
Because i'm quite shy , but in my mind i also want to pratise En. orally. however in fact i may not dare to express my feeling to other , that's what we call lack of confidence.i don't dare to talk to someone that i don't familiar with,or stand up in the class to answer the teacher's questions

Grammar and vocabulary helps. There are many websites that can help you with this.
However, I believe that using English (talking, reading, writing, listening) as often as you can helps even more.
I became fluent in English because I had people to talk with in English and I surrounded myself with English books, movies, songs in English, etc.

i'm quite admire you for you have the learning atmosphere.
Firt,Sometime i also want to read a En.book, but i found that it's difficult to understand the whole sentence ,cause some of the words i can not understand.then it's hard for me to continue.
Second,i also listen to the En.songs,but it's also difficult for me to get the meaning of the lyrics.
Anyway , i know that all of your advice can help me to develope a sence of language.i will try my best to overcome my difficulties. Thanks!
