Talk
Converse in a lot of conversations and try to be the one to start talking in English. Pay attention to other peoples conversations and aim to understand the general topic they are talking about. Try to impersonate your favourite talk show host or sing along with your favourite music artist. This will ready your vocabulary for all kinds of slangs and abbreviations. Read out loud the names of store fronts, billboards and other signage.
When shopping around, find customer service and start talking in English, even if you know what you want. Purchase items through conversing, such as in person or by phone. Start sending out posts in English, such as Twitter and Facebook. Make English speaking friends; they will be able to help you with the best material to study.
Hobbies
Take up a hobby class in English, such as cooking or football. This will help a lot with communication skills, as opposed to picking up a class in your native language. Head out into town where everyone speaks English and you will even find backpacker bars and international clubs where tourists hangout. You can practice your English with them and they may even be interested in learning your native language.
