there are a lot of how tos and self-help publications that can really help. but the most comprehensive and easy to understand how to on the english language is a thick red book called "write better, speak better." published by reader's digest, you can order it from the internet and it will be delivered at your doorstep. i've had my copy of that book way, way back and it has undergone continuous updating. still, it remains as one of the best how to in learning the english language.

If you want to learn English quickly, it would be better to make your scadual at first and apply it step by step. Of course there are different kinds of skils but since you are talking about how to learn fast. I think in this part the most important skills are listening and speaking. If you don't find someone to speak with, it is ok to talk to yourself. Also, read a lot. And coserning listening, there are a lot of audio materials in the internet. Try to find the easy ones. Listen to them for a month. And repeat letening to these materials to become familier with them.

I'm an English teacher on-line for chinese students, and I'm using the New Concept English books of LG Alexander. It will be easier for you to read them again. :)

Yes i agree that for you to be able to learn English better is speak the language as often as you can. You might want to listen to English songs and watch English tv shows and movies.you can also ask your friends to do chit-chat in english. it's very effective because i've tried it when i was about to apply a job in a call center and it really works for me.

People learn a language quickly when they familiarize with the language! So, try reading more English papers, magazines , digests, dailies. Also, spending more time on mylot helps you increase your English knowledge! Also, hear people speak English as people tend to learn a lot by listening! Also, if you do not know a meaning of a word, refer the meaning and try to make the usage of the word more common!
