Hello TAJ,

To learn English ( or any language) in a relatively shorter time you should intensify whatever efforts you do ,practice more and dedicate sufficient time for learning.

The following are some tips to help you learn. You should look forward to applying them intensively for quicker results.

To start learning English from the scratch you might need to take some initial classes to learn the alphabet , how to pronounce ,basic vocabulary and grammar. You can do that by taking classes in a language institute or by self learning online, although some guiding from a tutor at that early stage is recommended, unless you are able to depend only on audio/video facilities.
Then you have to practice and increase your vocabulary through different means such as :
*Reading at your level of comprehension simple texts or books and looking up new words .
* Listening to English through music and possibly reading the lyrics.
* Watching movies in English with subtitles in your mother tongue..
* Chatting with natives online using voice chats or in real life .Mingling with natives is a very good way to be constantly listening to speech in English, even if you don't understand at the beginning.

Make lists of words you learned and categorize them, e.g words you use at the office , words you use at school , greetings etc....
- Keep a diary in English . Try to use the new words you learned to write and compose simple sentences .The more you add up to your vocabulary, the more you can form intricate ones. Test your level!.
-Take a holiday abroad if you can afford in countries speaking English. It is an opportunity to practice with natives and learn more about the culture and people.You can sign up in language courses in those countries as well beside visiting its historical and monumental buildings and museums . You will be using guiding phrasebooks to help you get along there. The whole process will help you learn more words, expressions and practice speaking.
All the above can help you improve your language. Intensifying your efforts will make you improve faster. Concentrating on whatever method you are applying will guarantee you a more steady improvement.

The only way to become a good speaker is to practice. Take every opportunity you can to speak. It's important to build your confidence. That’s why you should use simple vocabularly and try to speak correctly and concisely, so that you can concentrate on getting your message across. You should also listen, carefully, to English movies or speakers. Take note of the words/terms used and read them over and over till you start using them effectively. Reading is another effective way and I advise you to read aloud and talk to yourself loudly in English to see how well you are doing. Watch English movies with English subtitles on. This will allow you to compare the written words to the correct pronunciations. Listen to English songs. This will help you a lot. If you can’t understand the accent, take the lyrics which you can get by searching at google.

You can see how English is used in real-life situations. You can also see, hear and practice interesting conversations. Besides, you can learn everyday vocabulary, expressions and pronunciation. Aavoid thinking in your mother tongue, translating it then saying it in English. If you want to speak fluently, you will have to "think" in English.
The internet based voice chat programmes such as 'skype' can help you improve your spoken English and get used to communicating with native speakers. It's necessary to communicate with native speakers and to imitate them so that you can improve your speaking skill.
