Learning English has become a necessity for many people today, be it for their career, travel or study. The main question now is how to learn English quickly. While there is no alternative to language practice, design and conservation, some learning methods have proven to be faster and more effective than others.Experts often claim that the fastest way to learn English is through total immersion in language. Easy to see why. Because living in a country where English is the basic language of communication, makes talking and understanding for them inevitably "a skill to surviveThe update and acceleration of language learning was the challenge that fascinated the co-founder of EF English Live Bill Fisher. With a background in computer science from Brown University in the United States, Bill Bell moved to Sweden to study at the Stockholm School of Economics.In order to achieve excellence in his studies, he needed to overcome the Swedish language barrier quickly. And because he was not dissatisfied with traditional learning methods, he created a personal computer program to speed up the process. His success inspired the digital learning experience that later became EF English Live.The world-class EF Academic team is continuously developing new ways to simplify language learning. Since launching our online school in 1996, EF English Live has sought to improve language learning by offering personal lessons in English 24/7. This flexibility gives our students the opportunity to learn as quickly as they like. For those who want to learn English quickly, we offer all the tools and direct teaching to support learning faster.

Self-practice by listening a lot to English and repeating it, reading English books and novels to increase vocabulary, and writing at least for yourself to just practice running the pen in the language. There are also a multitude of websites that provide useful tools and free services for practicing and improving the English language. You can also search for English language conversation clubs or even to find an online English native friend who you can talk to. Another very efficient way to keep your English running is through teaching it to someone else. You will be amazed how teaching others something can make you learn it even more.

Hope you find these tips useful.

I do not understand what do you mean by "stay updated with English language." Anyhow developing a language skills is ever based on practice. You need to practise the language skills always so that you can do better with it.

When one does not work in an english based work place it becomes ones own responsibility to keep their second language up. A couple ways to do this is to one stay in contact with any english speaking friends you have, download applications that can help you to continue to learn and lastly join a group that has the same goals in mind. If you cant find a group, create one and invite people who want to maintain or grow their second language to learn. If you have the will to keep you language you can. Determination is key and second is hard work.

Read books you enjoy at your level or a bit higher, write about what you read, listen to something about it, and talk about it, if possible.
