Courses

Effortless English: I got this course when I started to learn English and it was wonderful. The course has many lessons and exercises but I recommend you to listen to the "Power English" lessons first, they will not only help to improve you English but also change the way you learn. This course costs $99 but I guarantee you that it's totally worth it, the knowledge you get in "Power English" lessons will benefit you your whole life.
Callan Method: If you like to learn with a teacher, you will probably love this. Read more about this method here. I took this course a few years ago (for 2 years), it was really fun and effective. I feel so lucky that I had the chance to experience this method. They even have online classes now. You can see an example of a lesson on youtube here.
