Aside from the tips mentioned above how to read and watch movies or series in English, there are other methods that will greatly help you on your way to bilingualism.
We refer, especially, to studying, working or spending time abroad. And it is that an immersion and a daily practice of the language is the most effective method to make English become almost like your mother tongue.
