Converse with English Speakers
If you know someone who is fluent in English or has strong English skills, resist the temptation to speak to them in your mutual language. Push yourself to speak English with them so you can work on your skills. Tell them why you are doing this, so they can insist you speak to them in English too. Ask them to correct you at every opportunity.
Watching Films
While watching American or English films, pretend you are in the film yourself and reply in English
to characters. Don't use subtitles or watch with audio in your own language. This way, you can improve your skills while stillenjoying yourself in your personal time. Plus, watching Hollywood films will give you points of reference so you can start conversations with other students when you arrive in your study destination.
Think in English
Think in English! If you're watching something in your own language, consider what the lines would be in English. If two people are talking nearby in your language, consider how what they're saying would translate to in English. If you see a sign in your language, rearrange into English or how it would be presented in English. Use every opportunity to "see English" so you no longer view improving your English skills as homework; instead, think of it as improving yourself.
