what is the basic in learning english?

English is a tough language to learn.  Practice, practice, practice.  Listening and speaking have to come first.  Purposeful language is a good place to start.  Phonetics works to a point, but not well, because there are so many exceptions to the rules.  Rading and writing can be learned at the same time as speaking and listening.  Grammar will come later with practice.  Many philosophies teach all at once in a whole language type of approach.  Vocabulary at all stages as there are different types of vocabulary - listening vocabulary, speaking vocabulary, etc.\n\nThe poem at the link I've included gives some perspective on it.

U need an enlish speaking environment. Yahoo answers is a good choice, yet u need 2 distinguish between good  & bad english. U can learn good english from newspapers and news channels. Pick up small elements on a daily basis & try 2 apply them on yahoo answers or other interactive facilities.  If u don't have anything, why not create it urself? Form a group with ur friends who aspire 2 learn good english. Within a few months u will b a part of a nice english speaking environment.

A decade ago to learn English, you had to attend costly English classes or purchase course material like tapes and books. Now you can learn English for free from the comfort of your home using the Internet. The BBC and the British Council offer a number of on line courses, which teach written and spoken English.  You can also improve your English by watching television programs and reading English newspapers. For more information, visit http://tinyurl.com/qnzpt

Read!  The best way to learn any language is to become familiar with the various words and terminologies associated with it.  You could very easily pay an English tutor fifteen bucks an hour to help you, but I think that this method is much more convenient--for both you and your pockets, that is.  And I'm not speaking of English books or the like.  A simple nonfictional novel, a newspaper, or magazine would be good to start out with.  Anything that you don't understand, either look it up or ask a friend (who speaks fluent English) what the appropriate meaning of the word and/or phrase is.

Correct spoken English:\n1. looking up words in the dictionary\n2. ask if you have no idea how to speak\nFluent speaking of English:\n1. Listening to the news on TV & radio - this is very helpful.\n2. Several websites (provided) may help, e.g. http://www.bbc.com\n3. Speaking with others who can speak better is equally important.

What is your native language and do you intend to learn English at some point?

Here are some tips which may help you to master the English Language!\n\nSpeak without Fear \n\nThe biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear.  They worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all.  Don’t do this.  The fastest way to learn anything is to do it – again and again until you get it right.  Like anything, learning English requires practice.  Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.  \n\nUse all of your Resources \n\nEven if you study English at a language school it doesn’t mean you can’t learn outside of class.  Using as many different sources, methods and tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster.  There are many different ways you can improve your English, so don’t limit yourself to only one or two.  The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect. \n\nSurround Yourself with English \n\nThe absolute best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it.  Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and television.  Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin “thinking in English.” . \n\nListen to Native Speakers as Much as Possible \n\nThere are some good English teachers that have had to learn English as a second language before they could teach it.  However, there are several  reasons why many of the best schools prefer to hire native English speakers. One of the reasons is that native speakers have a natural flow to their speech that students of English should try to imitate.  The closer ESL / EFL students can get to this rhythm or flow, the more convincing and comfortable they will become.  \n\nWatch English Films and Television \n\nThis is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective.  By watching English films (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors.  If you listen to the news you can also hear different accents. \n\nListen to English Music \n\nMusic can be a very effective method of learning English.  In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension.  The best way to learn though, is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings.  There are several good internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time.  And if you like to sing, fine. \n\nStudy As Often As Possible!\n\nOnly by studying things like grammar and vocabulary and doing exercises, can you really improve your knowledge of any language.  \n\nDo Exercises and Take Tests\n\nMany people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun.  However, by completing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. One of the best reasons for doing lots of exercises and tests is that they give you a benchmark to compare your future results with.  Often, it is by comparing your score on a test you took yesterday with one you took a month or six months ago that you realize just how much you have learned.  If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing. Start now by doing some of the many exercises and tests on this site, and return in a few days to see what you've learned. Keep doing this and you really will make some progress with English. \n\nRecord Yourself \n\nNobody likes to hear their own voice on tape but like tests, it is good to compare your tapes from time to time.  You may be so impressed with the progress you are making that you may not mind the sound of your voice as much. \n\nListen to English \n\nBy this, we mean, speak on the phone or listen to radio broad

For grammar, I recommend using English Grammar in Use (CUP)which is a reference and workbook rolled in one. It has relevant editions for all levels. It's counterpart is English Vocabulary in Use. Personally, I hate coursebookss but you can purchase one if you fancy. Read classic novels (you can start with abridged versions such as the Oxford Bookworms Series) and newspapers as well, my pet magazine is National Geographic. It's also important to focus on listening (BBC, CNN etc.) but you can tune in to radio too, like BBC1 and BBC4. Even if you don't quite understand what1s on, it is still worth listening to English media.
