Hi,

There is no "best" way that will work for everyone. Practice, patience, and perserverance are perhaps the most important ingredients.

I am learning Spanish, so I will give some ideas of things I have learnt:

1. Being in a Spanish-speaking country helped me learn a lot, very fast. Living in an English-speaking country will help someone by immersing them in the language an culture.

2. Watching movies and listening to music is fun! I can watch subtitles and try to match them with the words that are being spoken. With music, I can find the lyrics on the Internet and read them while listening to the music - and translate them into English.

3. Learning conversational Spanish has been "good", however, recently I started studying basic gramma, and my Spanish is improving much faster. So, you can practice conversational English, but learning some basic gramma may help improve your English skills faster.

4. Study regularly. Studying 20-30 minutes a day will be better than 2 hours one time per month.

5. YouTube has many free English tuition videos. There are plenty of free online dictionaries for English (maybe English-Norwegian).

6. Try and find a native-English speaker in your city who you can exchange lessons with. There may be people who want to learn Norwegian, and will happily teach you English in return for teaching them.

7. Try and speak with many different English speakers, to get used to accents and individual differences in pronounciation.

8. I believe it is a myth that you can learn better from someone who only speaks English. If you can find someone who knows English and Norweigian, then early on in your studies you can have basic concepts of English gramma, word definitions, etc, explained to you in your own language. I know that I find teaching Spanish-speakers English is easier than teaching Japanese or Chinese speakers, simply because I can explain some simple things in Spanish. When the person can make an association between the concept in their language and the concept in English, they understand it quickly.

9. If you are passionate about learning, you can learn English. If you find it boring, and have no incentives, you will struggle. Make sure you find ways to keep your learning fun!

Ask questions on this forum. That is what it is here for. Find some people to chat to by voice, using Skype, GoogleTalk, or another free program that lets you talk to other people.

Enjoy! And good luck with your English studies.
