To learn English first, make a habit of reading, then make an attempt to speak and therefore, you will learn to speak English properly.

Ironically, we expend 90% of our effort on building up verbal capability! Funny? I shall try to be brief and simple. As far as verbal communication is concerned, keep it simple:
Learn good/new vocabulary but do NOT use BIG words to impress; good communication implies that people understand you;
Don't even glance at accent. I mean, do NOT try and cultivate an accent that is not yours. World over, people will look for clarity in communication and NOT accent. We accept everyone accent. Eventually. Read a newspaper ALOUD every day for at least 15 minutes. [ Bensie Dorien]
Watch good TV channels [ Bensie Dorien]- BBC, CNN and Al Jazeera count. Do NOT copy the accent please. Do not throw difficult words around. Speaking grammatically correct language is admired, showing off is not. Do NOT mix languages: Hinglish may be the latest craze but what people do not understand is that by the time you are done perfecting Hinglish, you are incapable of fine conversation in neither English nor Hindi!
Non-verbal communication is trickier but so much more powerful:
Watch yourself in the mirror as you speak. Note your posture. Walk/stand as if you are stretching yourself to the roof. Yes, works! ;-)
One rule that I recommend highly is simply to be interested in whoever you meet. That'd take care a lot of nonverbal/body language glitches. The moment you tell yourself that you LIKE the person/s you are speaking with, it changes the nonverbal dynamics of your body. Try it. If you fear public speaking, do it more. Confront your fear. Start with small groups and graduate to bigger ones. Trust me, you get more confidence if you try and speak on topics that you are familiar with. Do NOT speak at every given opportunity. Listen. It is the single most attractive/useful quality in any individual. VOICE. You have recording systems everywhere, even in your cellphone. Use it to record and analyse how you sound. Record a sentence in many different ways and notice the di.

English is not only about learning, it's about understanding the sentences. You can join any popular English speaking institute to speak at least 3 to 4 hours in a day regularly.

Learning English is very easy. Yes, listening to English songs, seeing English news etc. will help you out. But, try to speak in correct English with grammar with teachers. And speak yourself, when your alone which increases it confidential level.

The best way to learn English in an interesting manner is to listen to English songs. That is how you will pronounce each word correctly and eventually expertise for communication because you will start singing the song.
You can also watch movies and good english newspapers like Times Of India, and magazine like Forbes.

Focus more on listening and speaking English. Stand in front of a mirror and talk to yourself about everyday experiences. Describe things, people, situations or anything you have known or seen, etc.
