I would reccomend reading books. Any book is fine as long as it has many details and such. Also asking your teacher wont hurt. Really, your pride will not be damaged.

Read books written in English. Most of what you hear in movies and on television has horrible grammar. Many of the answers and questions you'll see on here have even worse grammar, even from those that grew up speaking English. English grammar is a confusing mess. It has way to many rules with way to many exceptions. It is very difficult to learn. Good Luck.

I am American, but I grew up in Japan. My parents taught "conversational" English to a group of Japanese junior high school English teachers. They knew the basics of the English language. My parents' classes were just an opportunity for them to converse and practice their English conversation skills. The "textbook" my parents used was a current copy of a Reader's Digest magazine. The teachers would discuss or debate the various articles in the weekly "class". The Digests had a section pertaining specifically to vocabulary and grammar...that section served as their weekly test. I think reading is a wonderful tool for improving vocabulary and grammar. Good Luck!!

There are books written about grammar available at book stores. The key is to find one that provides basic information, written simply, preferably for a new English speaking person - whether you speak English or not, it is worth reading and practising.
You will catch on, good luck.

Keep practicing with anglophone friends who will correct your sentences for you. Read a lot - good books not trash.
That's the best way. Just listening to music or watching movies will make you able to understand what you hear, but speaking it back is different.
