It might sound strange to you but these are some important rules. If you want to pass

examinations, then study grammar. However, if you want to become fluent in English, try

to learn English without studying too much grammar because that will only slow you

down and confuse you. You will think about the rules when creating sentences instead of

speaking naturally like a native speaker. Some native speakers do not know so many

grammar rules as non-native students do.

Everyone can speak at least one language whether they are intelligent, or lack some brain

power. This could be achieved by being surrounded by that language at all times. You

may notice that there are also some people who study abroad and learn very little.. That is

because they go to an English speaking school, but find friends from their own country

and don’t practice English. Some others can speak English well because they live in an

English speaking environment.

Therefore, why don’t you surround yourself with English? Make rules with some friends

that you will only speak English when meeting up for a coffee, for example. You can also

carry around an iPod and listen to English as much as possible.
