Note:
RULE 1:  Always Study and Review Phrases, Not Individual Words
Never study a single, individual word. Never. When you find a new word, always write down The Phrase it is in. When you review, always review all of the phrase, not the word.
Collect phrases.  
Your speaking and grammar will improve 4-5 times faster. Never again study a single word. Never write a single word in your notebook, learn Phrases Only.
RULE 2: Don't Study Grammar
Angelina quickly improved speaking-- when she stopped studying grammar. This is your second rule. Put away your grammar books and textbooks. Grammar rules teach you to think about English, you want to speak automatically-- without thinking!  
RULE 3: The Most Important Rule--  Listen First
What is the rule that Humberto found? Simple. The rule is listening. Listen to English.  Its simple.  That is the key to your English success.  Stop reading textbooks.  Start listening everyday.
RULE 4:  Slow, Deep Learning Is Best
The secret to speaking easily is to learn every word & phrase DEEPLY.  
Its not enough to know a definition.  Its not enough to remember for a test. You must put the word deep into your brain.
RULE 5: Use Point Of View Mini-Stories
I call these stories "Point Of View Mini-Stories".  They are the most powerful way to learn and use English grammar automatically. Use Point of View Stories for Automatic Grammar. You must learn grammar by listening to real English.  The best way is to listen to the same story... told in different times (points of  view):  Past, Perfect, Present, Future.  
Find a story or article in the present tense.  Then ask your native speaker tutor to write it again in the Past, with Perfect tenses, and in the Future.  Finally, ask him to read and record these stories for you.   
Then you can listen to story with many different kinds of grammar.  You don't need to know the grammar rules.  
RULE 6:  Only Use Real English Lessons & Materials
You learn real English if you want to understand native speakers and speak easily.  Use real magazines, audio articles, TV shows, movies, radio talk shows, and audio books.  
earn Real English, Not Textbook English
Until then, have a great day and enjoy learning English!
