Why do you want to learn English?
Before you begin (or go back to) studying English, ask youself one question.
Why do I want to study English?
Is it because you want to, or because someone else wants you to? Like
every decision in life, studying English must be something you want to
do.
Set goals
If you know why you want to study, setting goals is easy. For example,
maybe you want to travel to an English-speaking country. Great. Your
goal might be to learn "Survival English". Perhaps you already know many
useful phrases, but you want to improve your listening skills and
pronunciation. Whatever your goals are, write them down.
Make an agenda
How long do you need to study to achieve your goals? This answer is
different for every student. The important thing is to be realistic. If
you work 60 hours per week, don't plan on spending another 40 hours a
week studying English. Start off slow, but study regularly. Use material
that is challenging, but not too difficult. Find out what works for
you. After you have studied for a few weeks, adjust your study schedule
accordingly. Do you study best at night, or on the bus on your way to
work? Do you like to study alone in a quiet place, or with friends and
