I don't know if it would make you fluent, but the podcast "The Allusionist" has short episodes that go into history, slang, and trends in the English language.

Hello, I have a similar question. Reading helps me, that is, I try to read everything I see. I got hooked on the website (learningenglish.voanews.com), there are interesting stories and videos on it, I also started using a new translator, I installed it on my laptop and when I don’t understand a word, I just click on the word twice and it is translated (Reverso). This translator has made my reading much easier, so I highly recommend it. I was also advised to communicate with the GPT chat, I tried it, it’s an interesting practice, I also recommend trying it.

Spend as much time as possible studying English. Watch movies, TV, or YouTube in English. Read in English. Find people to talk to (or write to) in English. Practice every chance you get. If you want to improve your vocabulary, try reading. You can also use Anki (it's an app) to make flashcards. If you want to improve your grammar, working through a textbook is a great idea. The most important thing, however, is that you read and listen to English as much as possible.

I learned more than 5 languages and the besr advice I could give is to of course learn the basics of the language and the theory part for a month or two then switch to immersing yourself fully in the language by reading articles, following social media accounts in English... I wrote a a small PDF just for fun about the best ways to become fluent even if you're busy (COMPLETELY FREE). It's on the Gumroad website. Tell me and I'll send you the link if you want! Good luck in your journey!

No podcast or YouTube channel is going to make you fluent in English. No course that doesn't involve interaction with other people will make you fluent either. The fastest and most effective way to gain fluency is to force yourself to interact in English. Listen to English speakers, read English writing, ***and*** talk and write back to them.

no such thing. if you're lucky, you improve in months. but realistically, it takes years.

What do you mean by “quickly”? Well, in general, there’s no cheat code, more time you spend = better results you get. I would recommend immersion, watching/listening/reading stuff that you like, as much as you can.

You might wanna consider using Italki if you want to be fluent converstional wise. You can choose between native speakers and profesional tutros, depending on your needs. I've used it for my German speaking and the progress felt amazing. [https://go.italki.com/rtsgeneral3](https://go.italki.com/rtsgeneral3)

If you want get fluent fast, you gotta talk, talk, talk. Watching stuff helps, but you won’t get far just by consuming content. You have to actually use the language. Join discussions, argue with people, whatever gets you talking. Duolingo is [https://www.duolingo.com/](https://www.duolingo.com/) decent for vocab, and italki [https://go.italki.com/rtsgeneral3](https://go.italki.com/rtsgeneral3) is solid for practicing with real people. Just gotta put yourself out there and keep at it.

There is not other way other than moving to an English speaking country and using the langauge everyday. This is the case with all languages.
