Practice speaking every day, even if it's just to yourself. Watch movies with subtitles, read simple books, and use language exchange apps like HelloTalk to practice with native speakers.

Hey have a look at r/tamdenlanguagexchang Daily practice is the key, that's how I got fluent. Surround yourself with the culture and language and if possible with English speaking people.

You need to immerse yourself in English. Try listening to podcasts, watching movies, reading short texts like comics, and soon you'll start to understand English better.

To become fluent in English, practice all four skills daily: listen to beginner videos or podcasts, speak with others using language apps, read simple texts, and write a short journal. Stay consistent, and your fluency will improve over time.

As others have said, immersing yourself in the language really helps, watch english youtube or movies and look up new words in a dictionary

I’m Russian and I've had the same problem as you. I knew and understood a lot of English, but my vocabulary didn't seem to go anywhere. I also started watching a lot of shows and movies because I found that a lot of times the words and phrases I learned from reading books were too formal and not conversational. I’ve also learned a *lot* of conversational English from this [YouTube channel](https://youtube.com/@smissle2506) — especially the shorts and the “Three Ways to Say” playlist. The guy who makes the videos speaks very clearly and is easy to shadow and the pronunciation videos are also fun. My suggestion is that you keep watching shows, but do it interactively: when you hear an interesting phrase, stop the video, replay it and say it exactly like the speaker — same speed, same intonation and same sounds. The problem is that as learners, we get so caught up in the "textbook" English we learned that we don't break out of that clinical style until we start imitating natives. I hope this helps. Good luck!

What country are you from, my friend? Most Arab countries, especially North African, speak either English or French in addition to Arabic. I'm fine with either of the former and get along just fine in North Africa without knowing any Arabic at all except the numbers. A2 level is pretty basic, but you have some of the grammar down. For study and work, you need at least a B2. C1 is better. You can probably get along reading and understanding simple spoken English, but it's not conversational level. Honestly, I would start off watching streamed videos aimed at kids. Switch the "real", i.e. not auto-generated subtitles on and to Arabic. Then keep advancing the target audience age until you can follow pretty much any English language broadcast. There are many English practice groups on the internet. Lots also have phone apps. [Free4Talk](https://www.free4talk.com/) is just one example. There are lots of others. The thing to really avoid is any group that asks you to pay anything to join or participate.

"I want to improve my English for work, study, and communication" - these reasons for learning a language are OK at first, but if you want to become fluent, you should LOVE the language you're learning. Be curious, ask questions, be interested in the culture and history of the country. Loving the language you're learning is important because it makes the whole process enjoyable and if you enjoy something, you continue doing it :)

From my experience, consistency is key! Even just 15-30 minutes daily helps a lot. Here’s what’s worked for me: * **Listening**: Watching YouTube videos (with subtitles at first, then without) and repeating phrases out loud. * **Speaking**: I was super shy at first, but joining small language exchange groups helped. Even talking to myself in English (!) made me more comfortable. * **Vocabulary**: I keep a notebook (well, now a Notes app lol) for new words and try to use them in sentences that day.

Always listen or watch some free English conversation in YouTube

Grammar is somehow easy, stick to vocabulary day in and day out, that is the key.

having someone explain things in your native language helps understand words and phrases, but when you are by yourself, try to pronounce words according to a video/show. I learned by following and repeating words on tv (there was no internet back in my day). Took me 3 years, but people started to tell me they couldn't notice even an accent in my english. These apps people are mentioning should be just the same kind of practice.

Learn vocabulary, apply it in daily conversations, speak with friends in english

Try to incorporate English into your daily life. For example, if you want to learn more complicated numbers (100’s, 1,000’s etc), try doing maths by counting in your head in English. If any of your friends are learning English you could try to speak with them in English as well. Practice is really important when learning a language, so whenever you can, speak it, read it, and write it.  If I said anything you don’t understand, please ask about it! I don’t mind answering any questions you have. :)
