English is very much essential for every individual in this competitive world to survive.

Improving English is not that much difficult. Only thing needed is intention to develop it and putting strong efforts.

Many persons speak English but there will be number of grammatical errors in those sentences.Because of which the other person may understand the meaning in another way. Such an importance is there for Grammar.

So I would suggest you to focus on various aspects of grammar and be good at them especially with tenses.

Once you are strong enough in grammar, obviously you can frame sentences on your own and can speak a sentence in several ways which are acceptable.

Any person who is desirous of good at English, should be good at LSRW aspects.
L-Listening
S-Speaking
R-Reading
W-Writing

Listening to English news channels carefully and several lectures will help you to improve your English. Try to inculcate this habit.

Because of the listening, you may put into practice some of the words or sentences that you heard in your conversations and you may also build up vocabulary.

Similarly extensive reading will let you as a source of knowledge. Once knowledge is there in your mind, you can use that content for several ways.

Go through English news papers regularly.

Try to speak in English with parents, friends and other persons, get feed back from them and let them to intimate you about your mistake and ensue that you will not repeat the same mistakes again.

TIPS FOR ENGLISH::

i. Observe the mouth movements of those who speak English well and try to imitate them.

When you are watching television, observe the mouth movements of the speakers. Repeat what they are saying, while imitating the intonation and rhythm of their speech.

ii. Until you learn the correct intonation and rhythm of English, slow your speech down.

If you speak too quickly, and with the wrong intonation and rhythm, native speakers will have a hard time understanding you.

Don't worry about your listener getting impatient with your slow speech -- it is more important that everything you say be understood.

iii. Listen to the 'music' of English.

Do not use the 'music' of your native language when you speak English. Each language has its own way of 'singing'.

iv. Use the dictionary.

Try and familiarise yourself with the phonetic symbols of your dictionary. Look up the correct pronunciation of words that are hard for you to say.

v. Make a list of frequently used words that you find difficult to pronounce and ask someone who speaks the language well to pronounce them for you.

Record these words, listen to them and practice saying them. Listen and read at the same time.

vi. Buy books on tape.

Record yourself reading some sections of the book. Compare the sound of your English with that of the person reading the book on the tape.

vii. Pronounce the ending of each word.

Pay special attention to 'S' and 'ED' endings. This will help you strengthen the mouth muscles that you use when you speak English.

viii. Read aloud in English for 15-20 minutes every day.

Research has shown it takes about three months of daily practice to develop strong mouth muscles for speaking a new language.

ix. Record your own voice and listen for pronunciation mistakes.

Many people hate to hear the sound of their voice and avoid listening to themselves speak. However, this is a very important exercise because doing it will help you become conscious of the mistakes you are making.

x. Be patient.

You can change the way you speak but it won't happen overnight. People often expect instant results and give up too soon. You can change the way you sound if you are willing to put some effort into it.

If you are learning English as a second language, you can follow several tips that will
help you improve your English.
The first tip is to enroll
yourself in a class to help you
improve your English. It helps if
a person whose first language is English teaches this class. In the US, many are required
to take the Test of English as
a Foreign Language (TOEFL) in
order to work in different
types of companies, or to
continue learning at the college level. If you don’ t do great on the test the first
time, that is fine. You can
retake the test after taking
more English as a second
language (ESL) courses. If you are living in an English
speaking country, you have
many chances to improve your
English outside of class. For
example, if you have children
learning English at school, you can improve your English by
talking in English to them. Also
rent movies that are in
English, and try to watch them
without subtitles. It can also
help to watch foreign films that have subtitles in English,
so you have to read the
words to understand the film.
Watching television in English
helps improve your English too. Each time you go out to run
errands, try out a few new
words. If you take the bus,
you can improve your English
by talking to people on the
bus. Also, talk to people at the grocery store, and don’ t be afraid to ask if you don’ t understand something. Most
people are happy to tell you
what a word means. You don’ t have to say a lot to people at stores you visit, but
even practicing simple
greetings will help you improve
your English. The more you
speak with English speakers,
the more you will improve your English, both in pronunciation
and vocabulary. Reading things written in
English can really help you to
improve your English. If regular
books are too difficult, you
could start out with simple
books. Reading the newspaper and comic books can be very
helpful as well. Also listen to talk radio in
English. This also can help you
improve your English because
you are listening to good
pronunciation. Though talk
radio may not make a lot of sense at first, it makes more
sense the more you listen. Books on tape or CD are
another great way to improve
your English. Plan to listen to
these as you drive your car,
or if you are at home doing
household tasks. Many books on tape can be checked out
from libraries, so if you are
short on cash, you can still
listen to many selections for
free. Set a goal for learning a few
words a day to improve your
English. Make a list of the
words you want to learn each
week, and study them
carefully. Try to use them in conversation, and don’ t be worried if you get them wrong
at first. Many Internet sites also have
English exercises you can do to
help you improve your English.
Many of these sites offer free
activities and can be a great
way to continue to learn new words. Also participating on
English chat sites can help you
learn more English. In all, combine as much
teaching and practice in both
written and spoken English. If
an English speaking country is
your new home, this is very
important. Being able to speak and write English well can
make finding jobs easier. Also,
if you have children learning
English, they will really benefit
if you are learning with them.
They will have opportunities to practice at home, and will
learn much more quickly.

It is not ultimate effort yet effective in understanding the uses of diffrent words. One can never be familier with all the word, but by reading newspaper the words which came to use in our daily use will be known to you.

Along with this yourself confident speaker by reading aloud.

First dont go for these one or two month courses , they will just dupe you.
You should have confidence to speak in english, for that read newspaper daily, underline the words which you dont understand, then revise them daily.
Read some novel to get fluency.
