How can I learn English?
There are many ways that you can teach yourself English and practise English. Listen to and speak English every day, and read and write English every day.
Using English all the time will help you to learn English faster.
Set all the devices you have - iPhone, laptop, and others - to English. If you want to study British English, make sure it is set to English (UK).
Grammarly. Put Grammarly on your devices. You can get the Grammarly app free. It will check your grammar and help you to learn English. There is also a premium version of Grammarly that you can pay for and it has a few extra features, but I only have the free version and I like it.
Dictionary. You need a good English dictionary. I like the Oxford Learner's Dictionary. You can listen to a native speaker pronounce each word.

The Oxford Learner’s Dictionary was made for English learners, but I use it all the time because I like it. I can listen to the pronunciation of any word and I like the clear, simple meanings. And it has other features that I use all the time. It gives verb tenses, idioms, and other information.
And I keep the Paperback Oxford English Dictionary on my desk.
Other tools
ITalki, Audible, Lingoda, and other apps are recommended by the best English teachers. I haven’t used these apps, but they seem to be very effective.

• AnkiApp might also be useful. I’m not familiar with this app, but flashcards are an effective way to learn vocabulary and an electronic flash card app could be very effective.

HiNative. And, of course, you can ask questions here on HiNative.
You should also continue to improve your skills in reading, writing and listening. Here are some tips for speaking English.
Speaking
Speaking to someone who’s fluent in English every day is the best way to learn to speak and understand English. They can be a native English speaker or another English learner. Speak English whenever you can. Are you taking an English class? Always speak to your classmates in English when you're in class and when you're not in class. Do you have a dog? Talk to your dog in English. Do you have a friend? Teach your friend how to speak English.
If you don't have any of these, or if your friend doesn't want to learn English, talk to yourself in English. Now, I know that talking to yourself sounds mental (crazy), but it really will help you. Talk to yourself while you're going to work. Talk to yourself while you’re shopping. Talk to yourself while you're doing housework. Talk to yourself in English all the time. It will help you remember what you've learned.
Best of luck to you!
