How should I go about learning English living in a rural area in India?

[mousepotato]

Hello Sir,
I'm currently residing at a village in northern part of India. People here generally speak a dialect which is exclusive to this part of country. Have they been speaking in a clear and used the words in a more diverse nature learning English could've been easier to learn. Let me explain in detail; people more frequently speak a local-language which is way difficult to translate from. They don't use variety of words in there sentences. I sometimes feel that the words they're using is actually made-up. Given my situation, I would like to know that how should I start learning English. Thanks beforehand.

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

Well, you have clearly made a pretty good start learning English as your post wasn't too bad at all. My corrections are above.

I assume that this local dialect you refer to is mostly English-based. Do you have access to international TV and radio? If so, watching English language TV/films and listening to English-speaking radio are good ways to start learning natural English. You clearly have access to the internet so perhaps you can find a good online teacher. Also, there are a lot of good grammar resources online.
