The learning process doesn´t end when you leave the classroom. There are other things you can do outside the classroom to learn English:

• Read aloud.
• Imitate recorded speakers.
• Sing your favourite songs.
• Pay attention to any bit of English you come in contact with.
• Talk to foreigners.
• Study those things you know you have to and you've never done.
• Read English, read good English, read literature.
