(continue) 30 year ago,there were not  many foreigners or native speakers here, so you learned to make up fictitious friend and talk to yourself. now you can speak to your friends .the key is you must speak english constantly. you must say words and key phrases over and over and over again to get them right .if you don't speak you never learn.it's best example, so by...by constantly talking to your friends, form a club, that's my big suggestion.get your friends together,gather around and have a cup of tea, and just speak in english.
---well this is exactly what i did 30 years ago.
---thank you very much.
---thank you peter.and good luck to everybody learning english!
