4 simple tips you can apply today to improve your English:

1. Get yourself a good dictionary. By a good dictionary I mean an English-English dictionary. Every day, you will encounter new words. To explain and know their meaning you need a dictionary. Dictionaries also include the phonetic transcription of words. This phonetic transcription, if you know the IPA, shows you exactly how to pronounce any word. So, a dictionary will not only help you find the meaning of new words, but also it will help you learn the correct pronunciation of those words.

2. Make sure that you learn something new every day. If you want to have a good level in English, you have to be consistent in learning. This means that you have to make sure that you are getting new input every day because learning a language is a lifelong process. If you stop learning, you will plateau. One way you can avoid that is to try to learn something new every day. It can be new words, a grammar point, an idiom or expression...etc.

3. Watch at least one video per a day. If you find learning English through reading textbooks boring, videos are another alternative to improve your English. This points out to the importance of recognizing your learning style. This basically means that when you don't learn much through a certain a method, then it is not for you and it doesn't suit your learning style. Thus, you need to change it and find a better one. Watching videos, however, seems to work and suit almost everyone, especially now that we are living in a digital world.

4. Speak a little English every day and focus on your pronunciation. Consider attending an English class or a discussion group. Listen to English on the radio or TV, and be sure to read and write as well. Train yourself to think in English and don't be afraid of making mistakes. You know, as it is always said: from mistakes we learn. Practice, practice, and practice. If you don't practice, don't expect to speak English well.
