Read from the older books (late 1800's to early 1900's) for a minimum of 2 hours every day.
Choose a passage and hand copy the text onto a sheet of paper. Do one full page of copywork everyday. Pay close attention to make sure that you write the portion exactly as you see it. Use the same punctuation and spelling as that in the book.
Buy the Robinson Curriculum and use the Vocabulary Lesson Books. As you study vocabulary and work the word games and puzzles you will learn to spell the words.
Another way to study spelling is to have someone say a word to you from a set of flashcards -- you write down the way you think it is spelled and then look at the card. If you are right put the card in a "done" pile. If you made a mistake put the card back in the "to do" stack. Keep going through all of the cards until you have them all correct.

Being able to read and speak the language well comes first. If this is something for yourself, try writing sentences from books from memory. Let's say you've picked a book that has a simple sentence like: He walked all the way to the edge of the water.
You look at the sentence, pay attention to the tricky parts, then rewrite the sentence without looking back at the book. Check it afterwards and circle where you've made mistakes. Then look at how it's supposed to be and try again under the first sentence you wrote.
If you did a sentence each day, you'd find your spelling improving.

jump on a mini trampoline while someone flashes the cards up for you to glance at and say the word and spell it back to them. The exercise and eye glancing skills help the brain learn the spelling, give it a try--it works!! And is fun too.

A really great spelling program (espcially for older learners) is Sequential Spelling. It starts with something like the word 'all', then adds on to become 'tall', then 'stall', then 'install', and finally 'installment'. It helps you find the "smaller" words in big words.

It depends on your learning style, but the suggestions already mentioned are worth trying if you think it might help; what works for one person may not for another.
You are off to a super start because you have the desire to learn!

At the very least, try the Check Spelling Button next time.
