Phone sex didn't teach me very many new words, so I think it is a terrible way of learning English!
Read your favorite books translated into English. To work on pronunciation, just talk to English speakers as much as possible. Perhaps get a part-time job where you have to speak English on a daily basis.
The best way to learn anything, though, is to teach it. Try teaching English to a sibling or a close friend.

Speak English and Mandarin equally. Speak English around your friends and/or out in public, and speak Mandarin around family, or vice versa.
Good luck!

Talk in Mandarian language with ones who are good at it and converse in English with those people who are good at it.
