Dear Amit,
First of all, I appreciate you for accepting your weakness. Don't get discouraged; take it in a positive way. Failure is the stepping stone to success. Another thing to consider is to sit down and introspect on where things went wrong each time. Ensure that the same mistakes do not recur. Start by reading the newspaper and aim to learn at least 10 new words every day. This practice will certainly aid you.
Remember, nothing is impossible in this world. I wish you all the best.

Dear Sir,
Keep your spirits high. It's not English, but it's just a language and a means of communication. You can learn it very soon. Concentrate on learning the language by all means. A child, when born, does not know English, Hindi, or any other language; he learns from his surroundings. Try to be in an atmosphere where you can learn. Try reading newspapers, magazines, books. Focus, focus, focus, and reach your goal. You will learn the language very soon. Create that confidence in yourself that if a child can learn, why not you?
As far as your accounts and job are concerned, you have the knowledge and skills. Don't panic. Try to express yourself conveniently. Once you do that, you will get whatever you like by communicating properly.
Thanks, and your English is not too bad, sir. Please concentrate with full confidence that you can do it. It's not a great job to learn a language very soon. It will take some days.
Thanks,

Many people lack self-awareness and are not willing to accept it. Sometimes, they are unaware of where the problems lie. Once you identify the issues, you can work towards solving them. However, it requires regular practice and full commitment.

Dear Amit,
The fact that you could express yourself very well on CiteHR means that you do not lag far behind in communication. We could clearly understand what you wrote, which means that you are an effective communicator; it's just that your English needs a bit of improvement.
It is not a big task and is very simple; it just needs one hour of daily devotion to learning English, no matter how busy you might be. There are a lot of classes and free online tutorials available. You may buy some English books that are simple to read, which will initially boost your confidence. When you are thorough with them, I am sure you will be clear enough.
Remember, go a bit slow and do not pressure yourself. While learning, if you are not able to grasp something at that moment, do not assume that you are not good, etc. Just tell yourself you have to learn, that is all. I am sure that within six months, you will be really good.
Kind regards, [Your Name]

Hi,
You have conquered your biggest hurdle by identifying your problem and acknowledging it. Being frustrated or depressed will not help resolve your problem. You will have to work for it.
All the above advice is the right solution, but from my personal experience, I have seen that you must always try to speak the language even when you know that you are correct. I am a non-Maharashtrian but born and brought up in Mumbai, so since childhood, we have grown up with Maharashtrian kids so we too learned Marathi. However, as I grew up, I realized that my Marathi was nowhere as good as a Maharashtrian, so I decided that whatever I knew I would go on talking and in the process my Maharashtrian colleagues/friends would correct me when I was wrong. Now, over the years, my Marathi has improved significantly.
The purpose of my telling you this is, practice all of the above, but don't be shy, go on, speak to your friends (who speak English well) in English and tell them to correct you when you are wrong. Don't misunderstand them, learn from them, be alert and attentive. Drill it into your mind that it is only a language and nothing great. If you have grown up to the age of 30 against all odds, you will definitely conquer your shortcomings and move ahead and one day be a very successful accountant.
So put your fears/doubts behind you and move ahead as per directions given above.
Best of luck,

Dear Amit,
Point 3, part 2 of the first replier is indeed valuable:
"Cultivate a habit of writing a small paragraph at an interval that suits you."
It has helped me in my life, so surely it will help you as well.

Dear Amit,
First of all, stop worrying. Whenever you go for an interview, never try to talk in English because that will lose your confidence. You may be very clear about your accounting fundamentals, but when you try to explain the same in English, you get confused. So, give the interview in your mother tongue and, at the same time, practice your English skills.
Thank you.

Hi,
If you are interested in improving your communication (spoken), then I would suggest you to view at least one session of the BBC Worldwide News telecast. You can then follow it up with viewing Headlines Today, which is an Indian English news channel followed by CNN IBN. What you will find here is the difference in the way people speak and also the vocabulary the presenters use. This would be of great help as you will improve your way of speech as well as your vocabulary.
Let me know if this helps.

I would like to add on the comments, Mr. Amit. Start watching English movies or news, whichever you like, and reading the newspaper. Go in front of the mirror and speak with yourself. I am sure you will be able to speak English fluently. No one is born and brought up with this language. Everyone has their mother tongue, and Hindi is one of our national languages. You should feel proud of knowing your own language. Just keep in mind that whatever you say should be relevant and make others comfortable to understand. Cheers & Enjoy your day. Hope you will find a friendship with yourself and you will like it.
