自学英语有许多种方法，比如：从最基础的词汇、语法积累开始；借助现代的网络资源进行学习；通过英语影视、英语歌曲进行学习等，最重要的是保持兴趣和坚持练习。
They're not quite as addictive as Candy Crush, but language learning apps are a perfect, productive way to kill time. And because there are so many of them, you can shop around to find one that jives best with your preferred learning style.
If you're not sure where to start, consider one of these highly rated standouts: Memrise was founded by an expert in mnemonic techniques, and is designed to not just teach a language, but to cement it in your memory. This makes it a great choice if you need to improve your vocabulary.
Or try Duolingo, which takes an entertaining and holistic approach to learning a language; it teaches not only reading and writing but listening and speaking (i.e. it's a perfect travel tool).
2. FIND A CONVERSATION PARTNER, OR SEVERAL.
Join a local group to connect and chat with fellow students of your desired language, and get in some regular conversational practice. Or, find a virtual convo partner on a site like Conversation Exchange; native speakers of other languages who want to practice their English will be happy to trade small talk with you over Skype.
3. READ, WATCH, LISTEN.
If you're reasonably literate in your language of choice, consider picking up a favorite children's book (or audio book) in translation. Harry Potter, for example, is available in 68 different languages. And next time you're Netflix-binging, browse for foreign films that you can watch with English subtitles, or re-watch a favorite show with overdubbed audio.
