How to improve english writing skills?

My friend did his schooling from Hindi medium school and that too from a very remote village in Bihar. Infact his School didn't even has concrete walls. Then he took admission in Engg College and later was selected in IISC Banglore. He had lots of issues with English but he was persistent. He applied to University in USA but could not pass the Toefl but tried again and made it through. Now he is here, and his English is pretty decent.

The point is that don't get discouraged by your Hindi Medium Background, just be persistent and be patient. I would say - "Speaking and reading is the key"

thanks a lot to all of you for you kind suggestions.
@ Abhimanyu, kapil,
the problem is due to being from Hindi medium, while writing i do some Hindi to English translation and which makes the sentences inappropriate,
as far as reading is concern i do a lot and watching TV news also.

Kapil can you suggest any platform where i can get reply on post with rectification, if it is paid service than also it is ok.

@ meenakshiji,

i am trying to wright but checking of material is the issue.

@ millu,

i am little bit ok in speaking though now i will concentrate on it also.

@Nishant,

i will try both writing and speaking and JL thread advised by you may be helpfull to me.

ghabrane ke koi baat nahi hai dost.newspaper se acha agar tu english ke novels esp. non-fiction padhega to badhiya rahega. dusra, reader's degest ek magazine aawa hai monthly, wa padha kar. ghana fayeda hoga. If u try to learn english by reading newspapers, u tend to learn a lot of political & other such words which are not used in day-to-day language. u will have difficulty in expressing u r self that way. newspapers report facts but novels express feelings & sitautions. want further help, do contact me.
 
Hi Daksha,
i believe......"a good learner is one who is willing to make mistake"..........dont hesitate,just think how a baby learn to walk.......how a baby learn to run.......how a baby learn all new tricks in his life........believe in yourself.......thr is a competition......"SPELLING BEE" in UK & US........the countries whr english was born........but today for last 8-10 years it is won by childrens of indian origin............JUST THINK IT OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF YOU ARE THE BEST.......YOU JUST HAVE TO PROVE IT AND THT IS DONE ONLY IF YOU PUT RIGHT EFFORTS WITHOUT WASTING TIME...............MAAN ---KARMA---WACHAN!!!!!!!!!!

Sheeshe aage khada hoke jor jor te ratte mara kar..
Aa ja gi ENGLISH.

Ghoom ghoom ke ratte mar le...

Easiest way ...soan te pehle NOVEL padan ki aadat ghal le...like

"Around the world in eighty days"...easy si novel se interesting bhi.

Kise University aale dost te manga liya kar..novel

--------------

Village boys are not weak in english to that extent but weak in knowledge / facts about world....so they feel outside world is havva...


*********
Supply FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA in village libraries
Those who can.

Atlas map books..
Maths books like Dr. Maths Forum on net

USA guys can supply mathematics books which are part of curriculum in US schools...to village libraries..

This step is better than awarding SCHOLARSHIPS.
As it is laid on basics improvement.
 
Debate

One of the best way is to get involved in online groups, take up any controversial issue and debate on it. Try your best to make your point. It takes a hell lot of energy to convince people, most discussions are futile, but they end up improving your writing skills.

As far as learning Spanish is considered, visit Argentina, and if one wants spanish as well as warmth visit Mexico.
