Stuff I've tried and it worked for me: 1. Watch English movies with English subtitles (no dubbing) or Japanese Anime with English subtitles (or dubbing) 2. Sing English songs 3. Play English RPGs (I think I've learned +50% of my total English vocabulary thanks to Final Fantasy series in my teen times) 4. Take English lessons (I did it before exams in school). Stuff I haven't tried but it might be worth: 5. Practice discussion with someone (e.g. via public video chat services with strangers or something) 6. Try audio-blogging (say something about topic you're interested in, best if it's related to your work), record yourself, listen, review yourself (what was good, what not), repeat. Side notes from me: - it takes time and practice (so also patience) to get really better in such stuff (like weeks/months, not days) - practice using simple sentences/words while talking. If you're talking with someone remotely (e.g. via videochat) have a google translate opened so you can search quickly for the words you're trying to say but forget - prepare before each meeting, write down some sentences/words that you think you often forget and keep it nearby to feel less stressed
