Other than taking classes while in school... Watched a bunch of American cartoons/shows, then grew to computer games where I had to translate words used in text-heavy RPGs. Read a ton of great historical novels about military history since I got into strategy games like Europa Universalis. Attended language clubs to talk to fluent English speakers. Then went abroad for music camp, took a ton of sample SAT tests till I aced them, then managed to get into college in the States.
