There is no shortcut in making a noticeable progress.

Since you voice out, it is time to take actions now. Start read, talk and write! There are plenty of books available in national library, if you are already has got your membership, why not make good use of it? At the very beginning, you may find it hard to read fiction, do not touch them yet. Try those kids' story books (the magic books), magazines with a lot of pictures, easier to catch our interests. That is what I did before. And now, I started reading fictions...

Talk? Most of my friends keep complaining that it is not the right environment to learn English in this city. Yes, I cannot agree with them more. Walk down to town, we can get our stuff done easily in our mother tongue-Chinese, why bother to engage in a bloody conversation in English?! That accent makes some people uncomfortable I know, because I am one of them. Well, people change. Now instead of complaining with friends and worrying about my lousy English, I started talking. Talking to strangers is the best........! haha.. Use English from now and then will gradually work... Do not mind whether it is not a native accent, not proper English, as long as I can talk freely, should not be any problem when going to Europe. As languages are easily shaped by the surroundings...

Write? How to write? If you have the habit of writing something, your mood, emotions, just do it in English... In fact, I ever scored A for my essay, that is the period I kept English diary too. See, there are always good results after the effort is put into.
