Improve my English

I want to improve my english. I'm from Spain btw. Can someone give me tips plssssss. TY
The best way is to find English-speakers and just talk with them.
English is impossible to learn from a book.
It is a mixture of many languages, mainly French, Germanics and Danish.
If you find difficult word, try to search it in google or vocabulary book. Watch movie with English voice & subtitle helps too.

I agree.

I will add that reading will help increasing your vocabulary and that will be helpful when you'll be talking with those mastering English.

Indeed, joining an english class is a good idea - it will improve your english, as you will learn the grammar, the basic vocabulary as well as you will be able to have a reading recommendation - and, probably most importantly, you will have people with whom you can talk. And it's only through talking that a language really comes to live - of course, reading is also not to be underestimated as it's quite important and will give you many more words that will be helpful to you. Reading and talking...
Duolingo on the otherhand - well, I've never tried it. But I've seen this here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVTP_IGbf48

I have to disagree, you CAN learn it from a book, speaking is only a good way to help your learning. Whereas you cannot learn English by just speaking. (you know how Wednesday is spelled)

Really? Whether you enter a chamber or come in a room doesnt really matter for me at least
I saw some people spell actually akshualie. I actually beat by school in spelling grades 2-5
To be able to speak consistent English, you must hear consistent English (via Youtube videos or online English lessons).

Hola!

Soy americana y ingles es mi native language, pero aprendo espanol. Si, escuchar, hablar y leer y escribir a language es importante (hopefully that translates as yes, listening, speaking, reading and writing a language is important...my grammar en espanol es no muy bien and it doesn't help when I have to mix English in porque yo no se a word.)

Definitely try Duolingo, and if you can find free online courses or something, go for it. (I mean like legit courses - I've taken two free online Spanish courses via mi biblioteca. Also pardon the lack of accent marks over any of my words in Spanish, I can't type accent marks on my keyboard). Duolingo is free - the free version of the app has ads but it's not nearly as ad heavy as some apps I've seen.

EDIT: Ultimately you can't learn ANY language through a single method - I've taken free online Spanish courses, yes, supplemented with Duolingo, mainly. With Duolingo, you get lessons that involve listening and speaking as well as writing - plus there's a Duolingo Spanish podcast you can find on Spotify and so on.

Adios, buenas noches y buena suerte! (Hopefully that translates as Bye, good night and good luck.)

EDIT 2: That said - your informal English ain't at all bad if your post there is any indication. There's formal and informal in English, as there is in any other language.
