We Answered:

I asked this question in a different section: Society and Cultures / Languages. Another user suggested these sites (they are free):
http://www.livemocha.com
http://www.bbe.co.uk/worldservice/learni…

If anyone else answers, this answer will be updated.

EDIT: ooops! That should be:

Another user responded by saying this:

"Studying online will help, but in order to achieve fluency she is going to have to regularly engage in English conversation as well as listening to English conversation.

As far as an online site goes, I know that the BBC has a pretty good ESL program and it's free.

Another suggestion I have is for her to download ESL podcasts from iTunes. Most of those are free as well and they are a great tool for learning new vocabulary and different verb conjugations.

I also highly recommend watching shows like Sesame Street and cartoons. Usually the dialogs are slower, more simple in nature and are easier to follow along with."

how to learn to speak english?

We Answered:

Actually, broadening/improving one's language skills is a very broad concept, it should be done in more than one ways at the same time which is highly recommended. One can NOT become better ONLY in one area e.g. listening or watching, one MUST improve skills in ALL dimensions of the language!

Learning language well requires being as active as possible and making the learning as FUN for oneself as possible. Taking lessons is always important, but equally important are these:

1) Listen/watch: Keep listening to internet radio stations like BBC, watch TV shows in English (use only subtitles, NOT voice dubbing in case you are not a native English speaker!), etc.

2) Write/communicate: Try to find discussion forums from the web about things that you find interesting and FUN (music/various artists, hobbies, etc.) and start communicating there with other people using only English. Start using instant messaging systems in case you find some new friends or start emailing them.

3) Buy yourself a proper dictionary, and each time when you see a strange word that you do not understand, look it up. Putting words into their CONTEXT is one of the best ways to broaden one's vocabulary and grammar knowledge, the more you read and write the better. Memorising is NOT the best way to go with learning vocabulary, grammar or any other language areas!

The main point in ANY language learning is to make it as fun as possible for yourself. Try to find topics that INTEREST you, read online newspapers (Times, Guardian, Independent...), listen to BBC/NBC and other radio stations online, if you find a discussion forum for e.g. your favourite hobby or your idols in music do participate there, etc. The key word here is CONTEXT, which means that it is easier to learn new words and their usage as well as grammar when you use/see them in their real CONTEXT. The more you see and hear the new words in their context and the more you use them in your speech & writing, the easier it becomes to remember their meanings and correct spelling.

I'm sorry there is no easy way out with this, one really must develop language skills in ALL these language "levels" or dimensions in order to reach better language skills!!

Last but not least: NEVER EVER use ANY online translators, they are nothing but utter rubbish!! English is practically EVERYWHERE in the online world these days, you just have to use your imagination to find it! Learning pace is always personal, it takes the time it takes so there is no reason to hurry it up too much. If you do, you will not learn so well. Also, please learn the basics of the standard English first before advancing to finer details like dialects/accents.

Good luck!

Informally, you can just find interesting sites in English and practice reading and translating them.

More formally, there are English courses and tutorials offered online which you can try, and many are free.

That is how I learned other languages, start talking to english speaking people and use a translator to begin, it wil get you started. You can also go to second life, where you can interact with people using a built in translator.

The best way is to always teach yourself, just be resourceful and hit the internet.
