A lot depends on what you do after class,lots of students treat it as a classroom language - do not speak it, use it at all outside the classrooms. To achive any success in learning a language, you've got to practise it as much as you can whenever there's an opportunity. Whatever you're taught or learn in class has to be put into practice in real life-and that I believe,is a deciding factor in achieving real success in learning English.</DIV>

<P>I have to be honest. I studied British Council for a month.</P>
<P>I think the money I spent was well worth it because my English has improved a lot.Now I can listen to BBC and speak good English. The requisite is that you must have a strong base of English which means that you have a great vocabulary, good grammar, at least understand 50 percent of BBC news and good writings as well.Or please don't go to British Council. You will not have a big improvement.It's really hard. </P>
<P>Before I went there, I self-studies english at home through the computer with the Internet link.In effect  I studied English in language school for only two months. The rest of the time I used the computer. It really helped a lot.I don't know whether it is useful for others. Some persone studies English for two years while she was tutored by a Scottish teacher.Finally, she still can't speak English.It's true.She isn't only an example.Pesonally, what the person above said is fairly correct and factual. You have to do a lot of work after class.Please don't be dependent on class.Every day I must listen to more than 6 hours' worth of English and try my best to speak English.At the same time you should do writings and correct them as well afterwards. Lastly, you should recite many English essays. See, learning English is tough and needs working hard.There's no such thing as a free lunch.</P>

okaylah

Well said and I'm glad to hear that your hard work's paid off. As a person who's spent half his life learning about languages and earns a living from it, I'd like to add that language is a living entity - something you cannot learn by memorising its vocabulary by heart or its grammatical rules like mathematical formulas. To have any success in learning English, you have to 活学、 活用 and teachers of English, hopefully 活教。
