I think you speak English better than most people speak Korean. Nothing is easy and perfecting your English will take time. First of all in order to improve your speech, you should find Native English speakers to converse with. The problem in many Asian countries is that although there are English courses, they are tought by people who have learned English as a second language. In order to perfect your writing, you should practice as much as possible, use spell check, the dictionary and when you are finished, get your writing checked by someone who speaks English well. There is no easy way except, practice practice practice. Good Luck.

Aw, your English is very good! ^_^
But if you want more practice, the best way is of course to talk with English-speakers. That will teach you practical English and the words that people really use. You could get a penpal or something, or maybe even try to visit an English speaking country.
Also, like everyone else said, watch movies in English, read news online in English, etc.

Don't give up! Korean and English are really different, and any English-speaker will understand that if you're having trouble with the language. ^_^ Good luck!

I myself learned English by watching English TV-shows with subtitles and reading my mother's English books and checking a dictionary if I come across a word I don't know. You'll learn a lot of phrases and how people you them that way. Grammar I learned in school in my English class since it's hard to copy if you don't know the rules. I don't know if they give an English class where you live but it would help along with watching and reading a lot (not necessarily books but also newspapers and magazines if you prefer those). if you have any friends who know English, speak English with them instead of Korean and let them correct and help you. And it doesn't have to be perfect as long as you can get the point across: I've been learning for 6 years but I still make mistakes and mix up British English and American sometimes...

Don't worry! You are learning it because you wish to do so in your own country- don't stress yourself out and good for you! If I were to move to Korea, I would expect you to tell me to learn to speak Korean out of common courtesy to your country; likewise, if someone were to move to France, they should be expected to learn French, and Germany, German, and so on! This is not racists, it is simply common courtesy to the nations in which people wish to live in! After all, you do not visit someone's home and tell them how to live when they have been living the way they have in their own homes for years! Anyone who does needs some serious counselling on common courtesy and respect for other people- like in Canada! If you tell someone to speak English in English areas or speak French in Quebec, you might be labelled as a racists and I disagree with that kind of thinking!

I don't think it can be done easily, but if you can get English news broadcasts, listening to them might help. Also try to get a subscription to Reader's Digest.

its not hard to read what you have written .... maybe you would find it helpful listening to BBC world service ... they used to talk slightly slower than usual for the benefit of foreign listeners and I assume they still do.
