The best way, in my opinion, is to talk with native English speakers all the time and read well written English articles to get a feel for how the language flows.



Grammar is also important. Remember how to conjugate verbs and practice writing everyday. Although your English is rather bad, it's understandable, so it's enough for most people, but if you want to become fluent, study a lot.



Expanding your vocabulary is a must, and know when it is appropriate to substitute certain words for others.



For example, you established the fact in your first few sentences that "English course" was your subject, so you can replace "English course" with "it" or "that" depending on the context.



Most of all, read. Make note of how writers form their sentences and when they capitalize words.



If you have any other questions regarding this subject, you're free to contact me. :)



EDIT: My advice for you is to just keep asking questions and getting more information out of each and every answer. And don't forget to converse with English speakers all the time!



You can e-mail me at idkusernames@hotmail.com (or right here at Yahoo!) if you want to practice with conversation, grammar, or whatever else you need help with. Good luck. :)

(1) I am fluent in English and Spanish so if Spanish is your native language and you need help you can e-mail me anytime through yahoo answers and I can help you



(2) Yes your question does have some errors but I think you're doing great. Don't let other people get you down or criticize your efforts, it takes time and patience to learn another language



(3) Byki is a pretty good language learning program that is free, its not the best but it is helpful. It has flip cards, and pronunciation of the words so it is helpful. Byki.com is the website



(4) Any webpage or similar that has an option to translate if you able to print the article out in your language and then translate it and print it out in English. Stories that have to do with current events seem to stick pretty good in terms of memory. I was able to understand and have words stay in my memory by comparing Spanish/English side by side whenever I could. ...////

First of all, yes, your English is not good. English is one of the hardest languages, and I'm a native English speaker myself.



I recommend starting out with the basics- spelling and grammar. Here are some basic rules-



1. Always start a sentence with a capital letter- Start with Hello instead of hello,

2. Capitalize proper adjectives, or words that describe something- English instead of english

3. In some cases, when adding -ing at the end of the word, you have to change the word itself. Example- write + -ing = writing



Some ways to improve your English:



1. Read well-written articles in English.

2. Always read over your written work and change any mistakes you find.
