How do you learn English when you are not a native English speaker?

It took me about 3 years for learning English from zero, now I can reading and listening well, but I cannot speaking and writing.

I see that there are a lot of developers in the world who is struggling with learning English and mine either. Can you give me any advice on this if you are not a native English speaker?

Since I'm going to go abroad next year, I need to learn a foreign language. To do this, I decided to use this link, since many of my friends are already learning foreign languages on this site. There I was able to find a good tutor, thanks to whom my language learning is moving in big steps! I think that soon I will be able to speak this language!
