text: practice, practice, practice.  See if you can find an english speaker that would like to learn your language, and just speak with them in English all the time.  Read everything, and if you don't understand a word, look it up.  Carry an english/your language dictionary with you at all times - there are some nice ones that are small.  Listen and speak in english every day.  If I can help you in any way, contact me through yahoo - and good luck!
