Knowing grammar and vocabulary are important but useless if you are unable to pronounce those structures or words correctly. Achieving good pronunciation should be a main goal.
1. Read aloud in english for 15-20 minutes every day.
2. Watch English movies with English subtitles on. This has many
advantages. You will be able to compare the written words to the correct
pronunciation. You will get a feel of how real English sentences are
formed when speaking.
3. Listen to English music/songs. This will help you a lot.
4. Pronounce the ending of each word. pau special attention to "S" and "Ed" endings.
5. Record your own voice and listen for pronunciation mistakes.
Many
people hate to hear the sound of their voice and avoid listening to
themselves speak. However, this is a very important exercise because
doing it will help you become conscious of the mistakes you are making.
6. Develop your vocabulary so you are able to talk about different topics.
Try and learn new words that are useful in different contexts. Using a
thesaurus is a good way to develop your vocabulary.
7. Practice grammar skills. Record yourself speaking and try to identify your grammar errors. Study up on your mistakes and try again.
I found very useful and interesting the fact that we can record ourselves in order to check grammas mistakes, we as spanish speakers should be aware of th sounds, w sounds and of pronouncing the endings of the words as you said
