After studying for some weeks basics grammar and words , for the rest of my journey I didn't study english anymore , almost , just a bit occasionally , when I wanted to do it , my improvement came at 90% from doing fun things where english was involved and at 10% from study.
One of my favourite tricks is listening english music meanwhile I follow the lyrics , if you like the language that you are studying probably you like also many songs of that language , it's a very fun way to drill your listening skills .
Sometime could be hard to catch the words ,for this reason is important follow the lyrics , in the future you will able also to understand without it , especially at beginning I reccomend to listen not too much fast songs.
You can find every english song you want , even with lyrics inserted on internet.
Right now these two are my favourite :

Also I like translate the lyrics because I want know what the song are talking about.
Wish you good listening....

LET'S START
Let me say again that albeit take english class with a teacher that follow you and also going in english country for a full immersion in the language , are each other usefull tool , are not necessary for reach a good level,
if you like english class , go for it , if you can visit city like London , New York and even afford to live over there for some months , go for it , it's great.
At the moment I can't go anywhere because my job , moreover I getting boring taking english classes , if you are like me , maybe this blog could be fine for you, you can reach a post intermediate english level by yourself , it's a level of english that will allow you to read and write about everything , furthermore you will able to have a conversation with a native english speaker.
Of course is not a perfect level of english , when I write I do some grammar mistake , when I read sometime I meet some new word never see before, also my spoken is not perfect and I have to recognize that when I talk with a english person sometimes I have some trouble to understand him in some part if talk too much fast and use too many difficult slang , but in the most case I can manage a conversation without any problem.

HOW LEARN ENGLISH WITHOUT ANY TEACHER
Hello guys , I’m a italian man borned in a small town close Florence , when I was a teenager I studied a bit of english in the school , but unfortunately I stopped to go in the school when I was 16 years because the professors weren’t able to involve me in any lessons , at that time probably the only english words that I knowed was ” yes and stop “.
Five years ago , I started to learn english almost by chance , there were some books that I wanted to read but was avaible only in english , so this is the real reason because I started, after that ,I discovered to love this language and I chose to keep going, so this allowed me of learn a lesson , that is you learn well a thing only when you need of it or you have passion for it.
Anyway there are varius level of english : beginner , elementary , intermediate , post intermediate , advance , perfect, right now I think to be at post intermediate level , and my goal is reach an advance level in some years , maybe two or three.
That funny thing is that I started to learn english by myself and I passed from beginner level to post intermediate level without any teacher and never go in any english country , I did all this with a computer and little else , from a town of Italy , the whole process lasted five years , but without many mistake that I did ,I would have been able to reach this result in three years.
