In my opinion, we should focus on learning new vocabulary that we may accidentally meet when reading books, documents or stuff written in English. I mostly learn words through games, reference books and by watching films with English subtitles.

When we have archived a number of frequently familiar words used in normal conversations every day, we should start learning synonym. So, what is a synonym? A synonym is a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word in the same language.

For example:
Sick = Ill
Old = Ancient
Peaceful = Quiet
Sad = Sorrowful = Unhappy...
...

We shouldn't skip the reading skill and listening skill, either. Strongly focusing on the pronunciation of every single word is helpful for us all. At school, we are often taught English by Vietnamese teachers so sometimes their pronunciations can be very confusing or different from native speakers'. What can we do to improve these skills? Practice reading and listening everyday. This helps your reading and listening skills and means that you are meeting new vocabulary all the time. It is fine to read and listen to things that are easy. After reading and listening to something, tell someone about it. Don't be shy when using English all the time!

Finally, we should feel confident and relaxed when speaking English without having to worry about the grammatical mistakes that may occur! People don't mind fixing your sentences as long as they understand what you are trying to say.

Using it regularly in your life is crucial, and it's the most important element in my opinion. They say practice makes perfect.

This thing is so true, aunt!

Should we just focus on a/some specific skill(s)?

IMO, listening and speaking is the most important skills.

I’m not afraid of speaking skill, I’m scared of listening skill most. (ಥ ͜ʖಥ)

Thank you for share.
It's very useful for the new people who start to learn english.
Do you have any recommend for the bad grammar and speech problem? Like a book or a website that easy to understand?

I can understand almost everything people said, but I can't answer them because I always use wrong verb and bad pronunciation.

Just express your idea, of course, in English. Speak out and don’t worry about making mistakes. Then, the person you are talking to may help you to fix the mispronounciations (if he is nice enough )

One recommendation to improve your English is to read as many as newspapers/magazines as possible. You’ll get familliar with how native speakers use English in business or academic contexts. You should also try to analyze the sentence structure, including Subject, Ver, Object and Modifier, you’ll see you progress very well.

P/S: one of my favorite reading sources is Scientific American, sometimes Smithsonian. You may not need to underatand the full meaning but try to grasp the main ideas by highlighting the S-V-O structure.

It really depends on each individual interests. But to be honest, those 2 skills are the easiest skills that you can improve in a short time. For speaking, especially writing, you have to produce a work using your own words, so it requires a sense of language as well.
