    Stay off the web.

    Seriously, I would recommend any immersion course you can get - difficult at first, but much better a way to learn another language than pursuing it bilingually. I don't have a source reference, but this would be my recommendation. Good luck.

    no thx...
    there are only 6m citizens in Israel, and only israeli citezens can read hebrew...

    on the other hand English is international language
    Total speakers: First language: 370 million
    Second language (including learners): 1.2 – 1.6 billion

    Hi

    If it was me i would record the words on a tape recorder in english. Then on another tape recorde myself saying them and then compare the two. English can be a hard language to learn and there are several versions out there. Also reading online newspapers might help.

    I think the fastest way is to get a personal english tutor. By that you can get personalized lessons that will speed you up in learning english.

    to improve your English you can watch English movie,songs.
    it is best way to improve dictionary also it will help to improve how to speak in English.
    read English news papers,novels and then try to speak in english.
    try to speak more in English do use in English.then no need to join English course.

    Best way is to go to a country that speaks predominantly English and live there for at least 6 months. People learn quicker when they are forced to speak the language.

    Internet Chatting (Yahoo Msger) and forum posting is better way to learn, write and understand English properly.

    3 years ago i knew just knew some words in english, so i started to learn and started a english course, i learned the basics and got really interested in english and i always played games and used to be a forum troll, so knowing the basics you can learn by reading what people writes on forums and more. I can read, listen and speak pretty well, i just have some problem with grammar because i studied one year of english in the school and i learned all the other stuff reading forums... and not everybody on the forums have a perfect english so i "learn" some mistakes also :p

    I usually talk(write) in english at least 4 hours a day because most of my friends on the internet are from the us or nz(new zealand ;p)

    Just give it time... i bet that in like 5 years i will be fluent in english.

    You won't learn english in a week or two, or even a year, it's something that you will learn until the last second of your life. (omg that's deep lol)

    @heracles

    I "lived" for 1 month in the us on a mexican's house (i suck in spanish and i had to undestand their bad accent) and my english wasn't very good... man i learned so much from it, you have no idea! I used to be all shy and stuff and i had to speak or i would eat spicey food everyday lol, i consider myself lucky because i got NO ACCENT. I bet that if i live 6 months or a year i will start to forget my first language lol.

    Learn some basics and stay like 15 days on a english country and see how it works, i bet that you will like. JUST DON'T GO TO MIAMI!!! Well go to miami if you want to learn spanish.
