Watch movies or TV shows and listen to songs with lyrics — and get a job that requires you to be able to speak a little English so you can practice at work!

You already know the answer. >forget it more the less I use it. Exactly. Use it more, and you'll improve.

Talk to English speaking tourists to Turkey

Well, my english lvl for now is B1, or something like between A2 - B1. And, i know that i can't give you a really reliable advise, because my english lvl isn't good enough, but... You should to find an english teacher, who will able to leads you, who can also start practicing speaking with you, if you don't know a lot of words for example. After some time you'll start understand some sentences, communication etc.And my maybe main, and a really useful advise - don't give up)

Here's a question -- you said your level is A1 now... so did you copy-paste that translation, or did you type it by hand? If you avoid using English, your brain will avoid learning English. Write it, use it, all the time you can. Even if you need to look up words or translations. Try to think in English, even if it is just short sentences. When you see a new phrase, like "I'm looking forward to...", then use it in your head while you are walking around. "I'm looking forward to making dinner when I go home. I'm looking forward to a vacation." Even if it is half Turkish and half English, think in English as much as you can. It is like going to the gym. You can't just look at the exercises, and you can't just look at the weight-lifting equipment. It has to be hard, you have to really make an effort. You have to push yourself to use it, frequently.

You need to eat to gain weight or at least keep it. Same thing 😂

The answer to your question is in your question. ————— If you don’t use it, you lose it. Practice, practice, practice.

To improve your English, it's essential to practice consistently. Languages can be easily forgotten if they aren't used regularly. Therefore, frequent practice is very crucial. You're fluent in Turkish because you use it all the time. Likewise, the more often you practice English, the more fluent you will become. Don't be afraid to give it a try. You can do it!

You can do a few things: 1. Watch movies or television programs in English (ones that are created for English learners might work better for you). 2. Get reading material that you find interesting. A graded reader or children's books should be helpful. 3. Try to find a conversation partner, or at least go to places where you can practice your English (or at least ask questions about vocabulary and grammar). 4. If you can, get a notebook and write a few original sentences every day about what you did, plan to do, etc. What you write about is not important: the important thing is to produce writing in English. Look up any vocabulary or grammar that you need for your sentences.

Any language you don't use you will lose some, even your native language, so if there isn't enough of the language in your subconscious to begin with you can lose it almost entirely. This is called language attrition. Some people who stop using their native language for many years have to actually practice for a while to regain proficiency. There will be a point where you have enough proficiency in a language where you need to practice it less and less and still be able to retain it.

Make a new friend who speaks it fluently and practice speaking with them regularly. That could help, to be fair, English is my first and only language and I still don’t understand it at times lbvs.

There was a Ted x talk by a woman who speaks 7 languages and studied polyglots to learn how people like her are able to learn so many languages while most people struggle. She herself learns a new language every 2 years. What she found they all had in common is their method of learning was fun for them. The more studying doesn’t feel like studying or “going to the gym” the easier it is to do and the faster we learn. I’m actually looking into creating some resources for people learning English. If you’d be willing to share more about your experience with me, I’d love to hear it!

Use it or lose it! If you don't engage with any of the ways people normally do language input (tv/movies/music) then your option is to actually get out and talk with more English speakers.

There’s a phrase in English which is good advice for you - “use it or lose it.” You’re losing your ability with the language because you’re not using it. If you want to improve your ability to speak in English, then you’re just going to have to make an effort to start speaking English.

Consistency and practice are vital, so stay committed to your learning journey!

Fall in love with someone who doesn't speak turkish (I speak from my own expience)

If you live in an English-speaking country (or the US at least, from my experience), public libraries often have resources like free ESL classes that can help you build your English proficiency. Maybe try asking around there.

Find an unsuspecting tourist and practice! (If they’re American, they’ll probably thank you/be relieved.)

Consistency is key. I usually advise my students to have class at least two times a week to keep their English consistent. You can also try watching Netflix TV shows in movies with English subtitles and listen in English but everyday is key,

Without any efforts on your part, naturally, it is not possible to make progress. You can start by reading and watching content in English - if movies don't intrest you, fine. Go for sth else - podcasts, blogs, stand-up comedy, there's so much stuff out there. You can join some classes to make your studies more systematic and disciplined, if that's what you need. But you do need to immerse yourself in the language if you want to learn it. There's no other way.

I’m like you, I took an English lesson almost 20 years ago and then I didn't use English after I graduated. My English level dropped from b1 to a2. Now I literally to pick up my English because of my two daughters, I had written a script before I talked with my daughters, and during my me-time, I would listen to podcasts or radio. Or watching YouTube which context is about grammar or real conversation or phrase. Sometimes I chat with AI.
