Good Afternoon Everyone.
Currently, I'm working in a Japanese MNC as an Assistant External HR and Admin. However, my weak point is that my communication skills are lacking. I am not fluent in English. Could you please provide me with some suggestions on how I can improve my English? Any notes would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Miss Ridima,
Just you have to do easy tasks like reading English newspapers, novels, and trying to think in English instead of your mother tongue. If this is not possible for you, then consider taking some classes.

Hello Miss Ridima,
English is an easy language to learn. Since it is not your first language, you need to practice a lot. Like Mr. Govind S. said above, you should try to think in English. Read English Newspapers like Times of India, Indian Express, or any other. Subscribe to one of those papers. Carry a dictionary with you. You can buy a mini pocket dictionary English-Hindi or English-Your mother tongue. Whenever you feel you do not understand any word, look it up in the dictionary. Try to speak in English with your colleagues at the company where you work. Watch English news channels. If you are on any social networking sites like Facebook, try to chat with your friends in English. To learn English, you have to surround yourself with English. Don't feel disheartened if someone mocks you or criticizes you. Be ready for criticism. Practice, practice, and practice. You will surely learn.

Hello Ridima,
A very easy step - daily, watch the news in your own language and, at the same time, watch the English news. It will help you to understand. Read any English newspapers aloud daily for a minimum of half an hour to one hour. Speak in English confidently whenever there are opportunities, whether you are right or wrong.

1. Newspapers are the best source.
2. Find some old books at your home related to your career or belonging to your younger brothers and sisters in the family. You will discover some interesting words that you had previously ignored.
3. Spend at least one hour in front of the TV and watch debates and English news on Indian channels. If you are interested in business, watch CNBC 18, etc.
4. Try to teach younger students in your neighborhood (tutoring), even if it is free. You will also learn from them. This practice will improve your grammar, which cannot be improved anywhere else.
5. Think of some words in your mother tongue and try to find their English equivalents, then incorporate them into your daily routine. The internet is the best source for this purpose.
6. Last but difficult - when you are alone, speak in front of a mirror. This practice will help reduce your hesitation and shyness in speaking English.

First and foremost, attempt to talk to your family members and friends in English. Initially, you will be hesitant and shy. Get rid of that feeling because you should be strong in your conviction that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE IN THIS WORLD. What one requires is the resolve to achieve his or her goal in life. The English alphabet has just 26 letters, and all permutations and combinations occur within these letters only. Unfortunately, in English grammar, you will find more exceptions than rules. Hence, keep logic aside, just copy how others speak and write. Simply follow. Keep practicing - reading and speaking, like how a lot of suggestions have come up in the above responses. Please avoid making spelling mistakes; it is the first rule. There are options available for spell check. If you sincerely follow the guidelines, sooner than later, you will be able to communicate like others. You can also attend language classes - one way of serious, structured learning.

I have a rule to master any new language: HSRW = Hear, Speak, Read, Write! Try to listen to as much good English as possible by watching BBC news and programs. Attempt to speak in English whenever feasible and check for your mistakes or ask others to correct you if you wish. Start by reading easy English first, as suggested by many; for example, daily newspapers. When you come across a new word, please go and look it up in a dictionary.
All the best to you. P.N. - Phonetics play a great part in UK English.

Ridima,
There are some helpful suggestions provided in the comments. I would recommend starting by getting yourself a good grammar book. I noticed several errors in the brief description you provided above. Here are a few corrections and suggestions:
- "Currently, I'm working in a Japanese MNC as an Asst. Ext. Hr & Admin." (Consider using "currently" at the beginning of the sentence and avoid using "but" to start a sentence.)
- "My communication is very down." (Consider revising to "My communication is weak.")
- "I am not fluent in English." (Watch out for capital letters and ensure correct punctuation.)
- "So please give me suggestions on how I can improve my English. Please provide any notes." (Use "suggestions on how I can improve my English" and avoid redundancy.)
Having a strong foundation in grammar is essential for effective communication. When learning new words, try using them in sentences and practice speaking with someone who can help you improve. Reading books is also a great way to enhance your language skills.
Correct Spelling and Grammar: Identified and fixed spelling and grammatical mistakes in the text.
Handle Line Breaks: Ensured a single line break between paragraphs.
Preserve the Meaning: Maintained the original meaning and tone of the message.
