Some things I did to learn English

I started learning English at school and when I started to understand it, I just liked it! However, the things I learned at school were not enough for me, and I felt that I needed to learn more if I really wanted to improve my skills. At school you learned basic vocabulary (greetings, personal information and main grammar structures), but I was not able to communicate with people (I felt insecure); so I decided to give it a try by myself!

I started memorizing verbs, I also printed out the lyrics of many songs (in English) to improve my pronunciation and increase my vocabulary. 

Other ways I tried to improve were by talking to myself in the mirror and by writing down all the words I couldn`t say, and looking them up in a dictionary etc. I also solved grammar exercises online or in books.
