I want to show you the best way to learn English.
Don’t translate into English from your own language. Think in English to improve your fluency.
You’ll find words easier to remember if you try to remember an example sentence using that word rather than the word on its own.
Be confident. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.
The best way to learn is through speaking. Surround yourself in English. Put yourself in an all English speaking environment where you can learn passively(主动地).
Practice the four main skills: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening.

The secret of success is constancy of purpose
Practicing and learning from mistakes
Good learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more. Remember, “Use it or lose it.” Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. “Practice makes perfect.” Good learners will keep practicing what they have learned, and they are not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes.
