Other thing. Some hints to practice English
1 - Read a lot on English, you don't need to spend much time, search the subreddits( reddit.com ) with your interests and read while you are in a bus, for eg
2 - Put every program that you can on English
3 - Like movies? Series? Animes? Gaming? Put everything on English, if you can't listen English put subs, but subs on English. If you don't know a word, try "decipher" the meaning looking to the context and pause if necessary. If you can't figure out, then instead of translating google "unknow word + meaning" and try figure out the meaning of the word by reading his meaning on English. If you can't, then you translate the word.
The first series who i've watched with English only audio was Spartacus. Was after i've watched everything with Portuguese subs, but was a good exercise who improved a lot my comprehension.
4 - Conversations.
I was lucky and on my university, i had conversation with native English speakers for free, but in general courses who allow you to practice conversation on English are very expensive. Not only in English, an German course that i was looking costs almost R$3000,00 for 64 hours of class. With this money honestly i rather learn the basics by myself, spend some days on a city who speaks German in Santa Catarina and try socialize, i believe that will be more effective but not sure.
If you wanna practice English, courses with English native speakers or maybe travel to a place who speaks English(USA/UK/Falklands/etc) is a good solution but it can be expensive.
Unfortunately i don't figured out an way to practice conversation on English with low cost. And after the conversation club, my English improved a lot, sure, my grammar still awful and my accent still too. Maybe play online with native English speakers and try conversation with then is a cheap a solution, but they will not understand you if your english is awful.
