Question: I'm learning English in my 8th year now and want to take the [CAE exam](http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/exams-and-tests/advanced/) (Cambridge, **level C1**) in one year. I am already taking an extra course at school; in normal lessons we are **between level B1 and B2**.

I'm going to Dublin for one week next year (school language trip) and I think I am going to a language school there. I don't have any other chances to go to an English-speaking country (financial reasons, time reasons, ...).

**How can I improve my English, whilst being at home and going to school?** I also want to learn more vocabulary that's important for daily life, because I'm planning to move to Ireland one day or study abroad.

If it is important, I am from Austria, so my mother tongue is German.

Answer: 
You can become Couchsurfing host and let English speakers come to you (to spend few nights for free on your spare couch for free), and you can even guide them around your city and practice the vocabulary of the daily life.
To improve the English skills, you must need a tool to learn and practice more to be a pro in it. You should focus on basic to advance vocabularies and use them in your daily lives. I would like to share my experience with vocab solutions which is a great way to learn new words in just limited hours, and I would recommend you the same, it also has online download videos which are quite helpful for beginners as well as the experts.
