Hello All.

I would like to ask about how to study English by oneself? I was on
course in language school. It was terrible time form me. I achieve only
FCE course from Longman book - "Fast track to FCE". Now I am studying
English at home and repetition all lessons from last school year course.
I notice that when I study by oneself I make a bigger progress in
English than my classroom school. Every day I am also studying English
grammar form Michael Swan - "Practical English Usage". It is good book,
I think. 

My question is what should I do to still improve my English?

Maybe some solutions are:
1.make a conversation by Skype with native speaker, 
2.read a lot of (but sometimes I couldn't translate and understand what
I read)
3.often make a correspondence with native speaker (I do it but a lot of
native speaker afraid that I want to go abroad and make a visit at them,
sic!)
4.still feel a problem with grammar - I can't too understand: The
Passive Voice; Reporter Speech (usage and translate form and into
English).

Thank you for advice. 

Best wishes for all.

Swan's a good book.

Read a lot of English-language fiction, watch many English-language
movies, with subtitles on.

Some people say that subtitles off is better.
