If you live in an English speaking country, just study your English well and communicate with successful professionals in various fields. They usually have the brain capacity to speak right. Stay away from people with GED, rednecks, or so called hip hop personalities.
If you live in a non English speaking county, just study hard and watch movies and shows in English. The rules above apply again. The best thing for you would be to visit an English speaking country for a year or two. This would really help you learn the language.
Good Luck!

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 online 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

Well first question is... Is English your first and native language?
If it is, then use academic resources like teachers for ongoing English help, and consider taking speech classes and creative writing classes.
If it isn't your native language then thats another issue and I can give you some advise that worked for me learning other languages.
1. Don't be shy.
2. Use Phonectics to help you pronouce.
3. Associate sounds of new words to your own language to help memorize them.
4. Practice. Practice. Practice.
5. Educational resources again are helpful but immerse yourself if possible in that culture.

This worked for me.
For reading and writing: start reading books for children and write down all the words you do not know with their translation. As you get better, get harder books.
For talking and understanding: watch movies in english (put the original version on DVD) and you can start with putting subtitles and then start watching movies without. (Also you can watch movies you know by heart in english without subtitles, since you know what they are about you might be able to understand and learn even more).

Read the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.
By the way, your spelling is already better than many of the people on this site! Good luck.

Read novels by authors who are famous but easy-to-read. John Steinbeck won the Nobel prize, yet a high-school kid can understand him. How about "To Kill a Mockingbird?" by Harper Lee? It's a wonderful book.
Then, try to write like that.

I agree with stranger2ooo but another thing you can do is read and this should improve your vocabulary. If you do decide to read as well, when you do not know a word, look it up in a dictionary.
