I have already answered a similar question. Let me reproduce the answer here.
Most of us (especially, Indians) form a sentence in our native language, translate it in English and then use it in a conversation. You have to stop doing that. Start thinking in English. Its a bit tough, but it will become easier and spontaneous with time. Don't think in your native language, think in English. This is the biggest hurdle in the process of improving your communication skills. Once you cross it, nothing can stop you.
Now how to do that? Simple. Speak with your mind whenever you get time. But speak in English. Don't worry about grammar. Just speak.
Now, let's focus on improving your fluency.

我已经回答过类似的问题,我在这里重复一下答案。
我们大多数人(尤其是印度人)用母语造句,翻译成英语,然后在谈话中使用。你必须停止那样做。开始用英语思考。这有点难,但随着时间的推移,它会变得更容易和形成本能。不要用母语思考,要用英语思考。这是提高沟通技巧过程中最大的障碍。一旦你能做到,就没有什么能阻止你。
怎么做呢?简单,只要有时间就说出你的想法,但是要用英语说出来。不要担心语法。只是说话。
现在,让我们集中精力提高你的流利度。

Start reading newspapers, magazines, novels, blogs and whatever you can. But don’t just read, try to understand it. And make an opinion about it. Especially about editorials, opinions and issues.
For example, lets say you read an article about drought in India. After reading it, think about it for some time. Then talk to yourself about it. Stand in front of a mirror and explain the issue to your reflection. Sounds funny, right? But trust me, it will help. And also think about what can be done to solve the problem, its outcomes etc and tell it to your reflection. Initially you will feel embarrassed, but keep doing it and you will certainly improve your English.
One more activity that might help. I assume you have a laptop or pc (even a smartphone would work). Download some good serials (I will recommend Sherlock, Suits and GOT(caution: this one not for children)) and watch them by keeping subtitles on. Understand how they talk, how they pronounce a particular word. Then mute that serial and try to make similar pronunciations by reading those subtitles. It will not only improve your pronunciation but also boost your confidence.
One more activity that might improve your fluency in English. Find a friend/relative/anyone (being an Indian, I know that this can be a bit tough as whenever you start speaking in english, you are accused of "shininig") who speaks English fluently and converse with him as much as possible. Ask him/her to point out your mistakes and tell you how to correct them

开始阅读报纸、杂志、小说、博客和任何你能阅读的东西。但不要只是阅读,试着理解它。并对此发表意见。尤其是关于社论、观点和问题。
例如,假设你读了一篇关于印度干旱的文章。看完之后,想一想。然后和自己谈谈。站在镜子前,向自己的镜像解释这个问题。听起来很有趣,对吧?但相信我,这会有所帮助。同时思考可以做些什么来解决问题和会有什么结果等,并告诉你自己的想法。一开始你会感到尴尬,但继续这样做,肯定会提高你的英语水平。
还有一项活动可能会有所帮助。我假设你有一台笔记本电脑或个人电脑(即使是智能手机也可以)。下载一些不错的连续剧(我会推荐《神探夏洛克》、《金装律师》和《GOT》(注意:这部不适合儿童)),并打开字幕观看。了解他们是如何说话的,他们是如何发音的。然后把连续剧调成静音,试着通过读字幕来发出类似的发音。这不仅能提高你的发音,还能增强你的信心。
还有一项活动可以提高你的英语流利度。找一个英语流利的朋友/亲戚/任何人(作为印度人,我知道这可能有点困难,因为每当你开始用英语说话时,你都会被指责为“秀”),并尽可能多地与他交谈。让他/她指出你的错误并告诉你如何改正。

This is a technique known as 'shadowing' that I learnt in Japanese class, which I find tremendously helpful for short-term oral fluency improvement.
Watch your favorite English language TV show or movie, and as the characters speak, repeat loudly the exact words they are saying the moment you hear them. In other words, 'shadow' their dialogue in real-time. Don't worry about getting every word or sound right - focus on listening carefully, moving along quickly and keeping pace. After the movie ends, repeat the exact same movie and do it again. And again.
By forcing yourself to speak at native speed, your brain becomes hyper-receptive to what you are hearing, and you will find yourself not only picking up the words quicker and quicker, but also unconsciously mimicking the inflections and vocal nuances that are usually difficult to learn for a non-native. It will also fix the stammer that comes with uncertainty or lack of confidence. In this way, the actors in the movie become your speaking partners.
This will be perfect practice just before your interview. Look for some interview practice videos on YouTube, then shadow the entire conversation. Practice the same dialogs again and again. You will be amazed how that will improve not only your speaking, but also your ability to actively listen and react. Best of luck.

这是我在日语课上学到的一种被称为“跟随”的技巧,我发现这对短期口语流利性的提高非常有帮助。
看你最喜欢的英语电视节目或电影,当角色说话时,大声重复他们听到他们说的话。换言之,实时“跟随”他们的对话。不要担心每一个单词或发音都正确——专注于仔细倾听,快速前进,跟上节奏。电影结束后,重复完全相同的电影,然后再做一遍。再说一遍。
强迫自己以母语的语速说话,你的大脑对你所听到的变得高度敏感,你会发现自己不仅越来越快地学会单词,而且会无意识地模仿非母语人士通常难以学习的屈折和发音细微差别。它还将修复伴随着不确定性或缺乏信心而来的口吃。这样,电影中的演员就成了你的演讲搭档。
这将是面试前的完美练习。在油管上找一些面试练习视频,然后把整个对话都隐藏起来。反复练习同样的对话。你会惊讶于这不仅能提高你的口语,还能提高你积极倾听和反应的能力。祝你好运。

I think the simplest way depends on your current level. I’ve been trying to improve my english for one year, and about a month ago I got 6.5/9 score from IELTS. It is a passable grade for one year of study I think. However, there are still a lot of things that I have to learn. So, I cannot really help you if you’re at higher level than me but I’ll try to give some advice for the other learners.
If you are a beginner, you probably cannot understand this text well. However if you understand now, maybe you need to go to an english course or you can try Duolingo which is a really nice app for english learners.
If you are a pre intermediate, you probably understand the text now. Probably you have some important grammar problems, and your vocabulary is limited. For grammar, firstly you need to learn some basic tenses. You probably know simple (present, past, future) tenses. You might have some little problems in the other tenses (especially in perfect tenses). You can watch tense lessons on youtube and after watching, you can find some exercises about tenses on the internet. Leave perfect tenses for last. For general grammar and vocabulary, Duolingo is a good solution again I think. Actually I advice this application for beginners to intermediates, maybe even for upper intermediates because it has a really good system for learning step by step. Just try it.

我认为最简单的方法取决于你现在的水平。我已经尝试提高我的英语一年了,大约一个月前我在雅思考试中得到了6.5分(满分9分)。我认为这是一年学习的及格分数。但是,我还有很多要学习的东西。所以,如果你的水平比我高,我就不能真正帮助你,但我会尽力为其他学习者提供一些建议。
如果你是一个初学者,你可能无法很好地理解这篇文章。然而,如果你现在明白了,也许你需要上一门英语课程,或者你可以试试Duolingo应用程序,这是一款非常适合英语学习者的应用程序。
如果你是准中级水平,你现在可能已经理解了这篇文章。也许你遇到一些重要的语法问题,并且你的词汇量有限。对于语法来说,首先你需要学习一些基本时态。你可能知道简单(现在,过去,将来)时态。你可能在其它时态(尤其是完成时态)方面有一些小问题。你可以在油管上观看时态课程,看完之后,你可以在互联网上找到一些关于时态的练习。把完成时态留到最后。对于一般的语法和词汇量,我认为用Duolingo是一个好的解决方案。实际上,我建议初学者、中级水平者甚至上中上级水平使用这个应用程序,因为它有一个非常好的逐步学习体系。完全可以尝试一下。

If you are an intermediate, you need to focus on your vocabulary more than lower levels and you need to find your little grammar mistakes. For vocabulary, you may try watching movies/tv series with english subtitles. You can find it difficult. But if you stop the video and take notes when somebody say something which you can’t understand, it will be really beneficial yor you. And at this level, you need to start writing. Write about your interests, topics that you know something about. If you know somebody knows english very well, don’t wait! Just give your writings to him/her and ask for feedback. Find listening exercises on the internet (‘notetaking while listening’ exercises are might be hard for intermediate, try to find normal listening exercises).

如果你是中级水平,相比低水平的人更关注你的词汇量,还需要发现你的小语法错误。对于词汇量而言,你可以尝试观看带英文字幕的电影/电视剧。你可能会发现这很困难。但是,当有人说了一些你听不懂的话时,如果你暂停播放视频并记下笔记,这对你来说真的很有益。在这个水平层级上,你需要开始写作。写一些与你感兴趣的主题相关的东西。如果你知道有人英语非常好,不要犹豫!把你写出的东西交给他/她,并征求反馈意见。在互联网上找到听力练习(“边听边记”练习对中级学员来说可能很难,可以尝试找一些普通的听力练习)。

If you are an Upper Intermediate, you should have solved all problems about tenses. If there is, understand and solve it. Grammar is a huge topic, if you notice a grammar mistake you did, immediately search about it and find the true usage. Writing is really important because when you write, you can find your grammar mistakes, your missing vocabularies and you have chance to learn these. However, irregular writings cannot help you at this level, so you need to learn how to write an essay. What is an essay? This is a brief explanation of essay. In my opinion, paragraph layout is important. You need an introduction (general to specific, and what you going to say in this essay), body paragraph(s) (your ideas), and conclusion (briefly, this is what I’ve said in this essay). If you search like “IELTS essay topics” you can find tons of nice topics to write about. Don’t underestimate the power of watching something with english subtitles. At this level you can watch almost fluently, and you can understand words from context even if you don’t know meaning of the word. Try to find someone for talking or chatting in english helps so much, but if you can’t find somebody, try to read some questions from here and answer by yourself or write as a draft. It sounds crazy, but it really works.

如果你是中高级水平,你应该已经解决了关于时态的所有问题。如果还存在问题,就要理解并解决它。语法是一个重要的主题,如果你发现你犯了一个语法错误,立即搜索它,找出真正的用法。写作非常重要,因为当你写作时,你可以发现你的语法错误、发现你匮乏的词汇,并有机会学习这些东西。然而,在这个水平,不规则的写作对你没有帮助,所以你需要学习如何写一篇短文。什么是短文?这是一篇短文的简要说明。在我看来,段落布局很重要。你需要一个引言(从一般到具体,以及你要在这篇文章中说什么),主体段落(你的想法)和结论(简单地说,这就是我在这篇文章中所说的话)。如果你搜索“雅思作文主题”,你可以找到大量的好话题。不要低估看英文字幕的力量。在这个水平上,你几乎可以流利地观看,即使你不知道单词的意思,你也可以从上下文中理解单词意思。试着找一个用英语交谈或聊天的人会有很大帮助,但如果你找不到人,试着在QA上读一些问题,自己回答或写草稿。这听起来很疯狂,但它确实有效。

Last year I went to an english course. However, it was just a tool for me to do these things. In course, they don’t have a magic wand. They just make you do these things in an order. If I didn’t go to the course, maybe I couldn’t do all of these things because I’m a little bit lazy guy. However, it doesn’t mean you cannot do these things without course or teacher. If you study regularly and don’t give up, you can do this.

去年我参加了一个英语课程。然而,它只是我做这些事情的一个工具。当然,他们是没有魔法棒的。它们只是让你按顺序做这些事情。如果我不去上课,也许我不能做所有这些事情,因为我有点懒。然而,这并不意味着你不能在没有课程或老师的情况下做这些事情。如果你经常学习并且不放弃,你可以做到这一点。

How did you learn English?
"I'm sorry, can you please speak a bit slowly?"
In India, we are used to listening and speaking English in our unique 'Indian' way.
I was never too comfortable talking to work clients who spoke with heavy foreign accents,
I’d always have the subtitles turned on while watching any English movie.
When it was decided that we would be moving to London, my over thinking mind started imagining things- good and bad (and worst)
I boarded the flight and was greeted by British crewmembers. ?
Life in that moment seemed like a movie trailer WITHOUTSUBTITLES... ?? Movie began after reaching London!! ??
I started avoiding talking to people.
It wasn't a pleasant experience because I’d always loved talking to people. I felt left out and under confident.

你是怎么学英语的?
“对不起,你能说慢一点吗?”
在印度,我们习惯于用我们独特的“印度人”的方式听和说英语。
与操着浓重外国口音的工作客户交谈时,我一直都不太自在,
我看任何英文电影的时候都会打开字幕。
当我们决定搬到伦敦时,我过度思考的头脑开始想象事情——好的和坏的(以及最坏的)
我登上了飞机,受到了英国机组人员的欢迎
那一刻的生活就像一部没有字幕的电影预告片,电影到达伦敦后就开始了!
我开始避免与人交谈。
这不是一次愉快的经历,因为我本一直喜欢与人交谈。我感到被冷落,缺乏自信。

Days passed and I realized that it wasn't working. I needed to do something about it.
I realised that no one can learn to swim without going into water. Similarly I needed to talk in order to learn the language and the accent.
?I started with watching British Netflix series without subtitles (Thanks to “The Crown”)
? I attended Meetup events and made new friends
? I made myself comfortable in saying “Sorry, can you repeat” or “Can you please speak slowly?"
To my surprise, I realized that it wasn't as difficult as I thought it to be!
Its 6 months now and I am happy to realise that now it is the last thing on my mind while talking to people.
Not that I now understand all the accents but it’s not a blocker anymore - not in communication and not on my mind!
At times we make something too big in our minds, when we actually get into it, we may realise that it was not as difficult.
And more importantly, we need to give ourselves some time, patience and kindness.
Happy learning.

几天过去了,我意识到这行不通。我需要做点什么。
我意识到没有人不下水就能学会游泳。同样,为了学习语言和口音,我需要说话。
我开始看Netflix的英剧,没有字幕(感谢《王冠》)
我参加了交流会活动并结交了新朋友
我说“对不起,你能再说一遍吗”或“你能说慢一点吗?”
令我惊讶的是,我意识到这并没有我想象的那么难!
现在已经6个月了,我很高兴地意识到,现在这变为我与人交谈时最不需要去考虑的事情。
并不是说我现在能听懂所有的口音,但它不再是一个障碍——不在交流中,也不在我的脑海中!
有时我们把一些事情想得太大,当我们真正去做的时候,我们可能会意识到它并没有那么难。
更重要的是,我们需要给自己一些时间、耐心和善意。
快乐的学习。

How do I learn English grammar easily and become fluent at speaking English?
Assess your level of fluency. There are plenty of websites that let you test how fluent you are in English. Google them. Ask someone, who is already a fluent speaker, just how good your spoken english is. Mobile apps like Elevate and Duolingo can help as well. Check how much you can understand, speak and write.
Buy a book. Once you are done assessing yourself, buy a good book of English Grammar that you are comfortable with. Read the examples and practise the exercises given in the book daily.
Read. Start off with reading books/articles that have simple language. By simple, I mean a book that you think you can undertand and one that doesn't have too many big, multi-syllable words. As you improve, pick up books that you find a little challenging to understand. Keep a notebook handy and pen down new words and confusing grammar that you encounter. Google their meaning(s) and how they are used.
Listen. Watch. Along with reading, listen to radio/podcasts and watch news/tv series/movies in English. It's going to be hard. Keep going. Use subtitles. Rewind and watch/listen to the parts you didn't understand. Again, use the notebook I mentioned above and note down new words and grammar, and Google them.
Speak. Huh? How do I speak if I haven't learned the language yet? You can. Find someone you can speak to and ask them to correct you when you are wrong. Can't find anyone? No problem. Speak to yourself in front of a mirror. Sounds weird, I know. It is. But it works, trust me.
Now finally, a piece of advice that my teacher gave me when I first started learning English:
“The more you read, the better you'll be able to write. The more you listen, the better you'll be able to speak.”
Also, I'm still learning and my English isn't perfect just yet, so I apologize for any mistakes I might have made in this answer.
Keep learning and you'll be fluent soon.
I hope this helps. All the best.

我怎样才能轻松地学习英语语法并流利地说英语?
评估你的流利程度。有很多网站可以让你测试自己的英语流利程度。用谷歌搜索,问问英语已经说得很流利的人,你的英语口语有多好。像Elevate和Duolingo等移动应用程序也可以提供帮助。检查你能听懂多少,说多少,写多少。
买本书,一旦你完成了自我评估,就买一本你熟悉的好英语语法书。每天阅读示例并练习书中给出的练习。
阅读,从阅读语言简单的书籍或文章开始。所谓简单,我的意思是一本你认为你能理解的书,一本没有太多糟糕的、多音节的单词的书。随着你的进步,拿起你觉得有点难以理解的书。把笔记本放在手边,记下你遇到的新词和令人困惑的语法。用谷歌搜索它们的含义和使用方式。
听看,除了阅读,听广播/播客,看英语新闻/电视剧/电影。这会很难。继续就好,打开字幕,倒带看/听你不懂的部分。再次,使用我上面提到的笔记本,记下新词和语法,然后用谷歌搜索。
说,如果我还没有学会这门语言,我该怎么说?你可以的。找一个可以和你说话的人,当你错了的时候请他们纠正你。找不到人?没问题。对着镜子自言自语。听起来很奇怪吧。我知道它很奇怪。但它确实有效,相信我。
最后,当我刚开始学习英语时,老师给了我一条建议:
“你读得越多,写得越好。你听得越多,说得越好。”
此外,我还在学习,我的英语还不完美,所以我为我在这个答案中可能犯的任何错误道歉。
继续学习,你很快就能流利的说它了。
我希望这能有所帮助,愿一切都好!

I believe in the “ball of string” theory of learning English. Imagine that the English language is an infinitely long piece of string. You begin rolling the string into a ball. The English that you have mastered, can repeat and understand almost perfectly, is your ball of string.
Your ball of string begins with the English words and expressions that you might hear everyday: “Hello,” “How are you?” “How much is it?” “Where’s the bathroom?” “Coffee and a cheese sandwich please.” “Nice weather today.” “Tomorrow.” “Next Monday.” “That’s nice!” All the simple words and expressions that you hear constantly repeated. Assuming you are somewhere where people around you speak English, you don’t need to learn any grammar or how to conjugate verbs or have a vocabulary of unusual words or expressions. If you are surrounded by people who speak English and you pay attention, you will discover that in daily conversation people use a small variety of words. English, as it is spoken in daily life, is repetitive and redundant. You only need to learn how to understand and repeat the things you hear most often being said around you in order to begin “your ball of string.”
When you are rolling a ball of string as the ball gets bigger, it becomes easier and easier to add more string and you will do it faster and faster. Learning is the process of adding something new to what you already know. The process is fast and efficient because you only learn what you really need to know right now. In every course, book or program for learning English, you will be asked to learn things that you don’t need immediately and you may never need. For example, a course or book might encourage you to learn, the conjugation of the verb “to write” in the present continuous: “I am writing, you are writing, he is writing, we are writing, you are writing, they are writing.” In real life you are probably never going to say any of these things, so why waste time learning them. Learn only what you need right now for your life, interests and occupation, (maybe “I’m writing to him right now” will be useful), the rest you will be able to learn easily when your ball of string is much bigger.

我相信学习英语的“线团 ”理论。想象一下,英语是一根无限长的绳子。你开始把绳子卷成一个球。你已经掌握的英语,能够几乎完美地重复和理解,就是你的线团。
你的线团从你每天可能听到的英语单词和短语开始:“你好”、“你好吗?”、“多少钱?”、浴室在哪里?”、请给我咖啡和奶酪三明治。“今天天气很好。”、“明天。”、下周一。“太好了!”你听到的所有简单的单词和表达都会不断重复。假设你在一个周围人都说英语的地方,你不需要学习任何语法或动词的变化,也不需要掌握不寻常的单词或表达。如果你周围都是说英语的人,并且你注意一下,你会发现在日常对话中人们使用的词汇很少。日常生活中所说的英语是重复和冗余的。你只需要学会如何理解和重复你周围最常听到的话,就可以开始积累“你的线团”了。
当你在滚动一个线球时,随着球变大,添加更多的线变得越来越容易,你会学得越来越快。学习是在你已经知道的基础上增加一些新东西的过程。这个过程快速而高效,因为你现在只学习你真正需要知道的东西。在每门学习英语的课程、书籍或项目中,你都会被要求学习一些你现在不需要的东西,或者你永远都不需要的东西。例如,某门课程或某本书可能会鼓励你学习动词“写”在现在进行时中的变化:“我在写,你在写,他在写,我们在写,你在写,他们在写。”在现实生活中,你可能永远不会说这些话,为什么要浪费时间学习呢。只学习你现在的生活、兴趣和职业需要的东西(也许“我现在正在给他写信”会有用),当你的线球变大时,其他的你就能轻松地学会了。

This approach means that you focus on what you already know, practicing, repeating and perfecting what you know, instead of constantly trying to learn something that you don’t know and may never need. If you are living in an area where people around don’t speak English, you will have to try and artificially create the environment where the “ball of string” approach will work. I would recommend watching television soap operas—not big budget shows. The lower the budget, the more tv shows depend on actors talking a lot in normal dialogue and common language. You don’t even have to understand the show, just begin to understand the words and phrases that are being used most often to add to your ball of string.
Even if you are taking a course to learn English, you can use this “ball of string” approach. I have often told teachers of English that what they are teaching is not necessarily what students are learning. Imagine a teacher is giving a lesson on verb tenses and asks each student in turn to repeat the different tenses. He might say “okay, good,” and “now your turn,” “very good” and “now you.” The teacher might think he is teaching the verb tenses but what the attentive, ball-of-string student will learn is “okay, good,” “now your turn,” very good” and “now you.”

这种方法意味着你要专注于你已经知道的,练习、重复和完善你知道的知识,而不是不断地尝试学习一些你不知道的、可能永远不需要的知识。如果你生活在一个周围人不会说英语的地区,你必须尝试人为地创造一种环境,使“线团”方法能够发挥作用。我建议你看电视肥皂剧,而不看大制作的节目。预算越低,电视节目就越依赖于演员用正常的对话和共同的语言说话。你甚至不必理解这个节目,只需理解最常用的单词和短语就可以了。
即使你正在学习英语课程,你也可以使用这种“线团”的方法。我经常告诉英语老师,他们所教的不一定是学生学到的。想象一下,一位老师正在上动词时态的课,并要求每个学生依次重复不同的时态。他可能会说“好吧,很好”、“现在轮到你了”、“非常好”和“现在你了”。老师可能认为他在教动词时态,但专心的学生会学到“好吧、很好”,“现在该轮到你了,”非常好“和”现在到你了“
