In addition to taking the class, consider joining a study group with students from your class.

Speak English Everywhere
Speak English with friends and neighbors at every opportunity. According to an article in The Huffington Post (see Reference section), there are more people in Miami who speak Spanish than English. Miami is a multicultural city where residents and visitors speak a variety of languages, but if you speak Spanish or another language, you should avoid the temptation of speaking your primary language with people you know in Miami. People in Miami appreciate when English language learners practice English, so do not be afraid to try to speak the language, even when you do not speak the language well. Do not be afraid of making errors in English, because English speakers in Miami are typically patient and understanding. Step out of your comfort zone and practice speaking English at every opportunity.
