One of the most important questions that every student asks is how to improve their English. There are probably as many answers to this	question as there are people. Each learner has different objectives, and has different ways. Let's begin with the three most important rules to help guide you. You’ll find further ideas below.
- The most important rule to remember is that learning English is a process. It takes time, and it takes lots of patience! If you are patient, you will improve your English.
- The most important thing to do is to make a plan and follow that plan. Start with your English learning aims, and then make a specific plan to succeed. Patience is the key to improving your English, so go slowly and focus on your aims. You’ll speak English well soon if you keep to the plan.
- It’s absolutely necessary that learning English becomes a habit. In other words, you should work on your English every day. It’s not necessary to study grammar every day.
