How I did it: I had amazing teachers who taught me proper pronounciation and were tough about spelling.  They taught me to be hard on myself and strive to better both of these things to have a better command of the language.

I read magazines, books, food labels, anything in english I got my hands on.

I also made a point of speaking english more than spanish and of practising with my friends often.

Lessons & tips: Get a speaking buddy.  You can both cheer each other on.
