Vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation are important elements, but constant practice and active listening can help you to learn, too. In English-speaking countries, such as the United States, employers may require good English language skills. If you plan to live and work in an English-speaking country, be prepared to learn advanced English.

Increase your vocabulary. Learn new words every day. Try to understand them based on the context, examining all the words around the new one. Determine their meaning. Use new words in English conversations and in written communication. Use a thesaurus to look up synonyms and antonyms of the new word to further increase your English vocabulary.

2

Write new words you learn in a notebook and then write synonyms and antonyms of the word. Write one sentence using the new English word and try to focus on sentence structure and grammar. Replace the new word with a synonym and then with an antonym and note the way different words change the meaning of the sentence.
