If you learn practically you will improve soon ( like swimming).If you go to a local institute where a ready made material is taught you can not improve. Many advertise stating with in 30/ 60 days you will speak like a forigner which would merely be humbug. You put English as first lang and communicate through it rather than your mother tongue.

The more you listen, it is better for you. Watch English programmes on the TV. Read the English news paper. Speak without hesitation....

It is directly proportionate to the efforts you put. The more you practice the faster you learn. First of all love the language. The rest is easy. Get surrounded by English. The more you listen, it is better for you. Watch English programmes on the TV. Read the English news paper. Speak without hesitation. Practice makes you perfect. Enhance your vocabulary. Use the dictionary effectively. Know the meaning of the word in its right context. Learn the whole phrase not merely the word. Collocation is important. Just as you listen, learn what word goes with what word. These things hasten your process of learning. In three months you can get a hang of the language. Within six months you gain proficiency. Ultimately, no pain, no gain. read less
