I will provide you with the best steps that you need to apply to your routine life to improve your English skills. These methods are personally tested by me and in fact, I personally do it on daily basis. So here are the steps that you need to apply:

Reading: Yes, you heard it right! Reading is one of the important activities that you should not miss if you think of seriously improving your English. So make sure that you read as often as you can. It’s not necessary to read only from English books or novels you can read them from any online articles or from daily newspapers or magazines. The reason, why reading is an utmost important activity, is because it will help you how to improve your English vocabulary and it will give you a brief idea of how the sentence is framed by the writer of the particular article.

Listening: Listening is another important factor that you need to consider in order to improve your English communication skills. Just try to listen to any audio articles like podcasts or stories so that you will get an idea of how the words are pronounced and how the sentences are framed. Also, you will get to know in what situation, the particular words are used.

For beginners, you can listen to cartoon stories that are made for kids. Here you will be able to understand the sentence frame easily and gradually you can move on to English movies.

Watching: Yes, watching English movies or series also helps you to improve your English language skills. In the start, try to watch the subtitle to understand what the person is talking about or referring to, and gradually you will ignore the subtitle because you will start understanding what they are actually talking about.

So start watching from today any kind of videos in English. You will find many English videos on Google which you can listen to it when you get time.

Conversation: Yes, this is also one of the important activities that you need to practice daily in order to improve your English communication skill. It was said that unless you put it into action, you will not get through it. So try communicating in English with your friends or anyone who understand English better so that they can correct you whenever you commit any mistakes in framing the sentence.

It is not possible for everyone to start a conversation in English because they may not find someone with whom they can practice. In such case, what you can do is, you can practice speaking on any topic in front of the mirror. You can have a list of topics to talk about on a daily basis and start talking on your own as long as you can. I am using this method personally and it is the more effective one that you can practice it. You can talk on the topic on your own whenever you are commuting anywhere or if you are having free time.

Think in English: The simplest way to improve English is to start thinking in English. There are thousands of thoughts triggered in our minds on a daily basis and if used at least 1% or 2% of these thoughts are to improve English which will give a good contribution to giving results. So just try to think…think….think…in English whenever possible.

If you want to really become a native speaker of English then you need to start thinking in English. No matter how smaller the thought is, try to think about it in English. You will find it difficult at the start to think in English because we have created a habit of thinking in our native language. So try to create thoughts in your mind in English. For example, if you have a plan to call your friend today, then think of such a thought in English. Gradually, it will become a habit and your native language will get replaced by the English language.

Conclusion:

I have shown you the way but practice from your end has to be contributed on a daily basis in order to actually see the results in a shorter period of time. The more you practice, the lesser time it will take to yield the results. So practice as much as you can.
