While mindfully learning English or any other language, define your start and end points: 
- What is your level now? 
- What is your aim? 
- What is the distance between starting and ending points? 
- How SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound) is your goal? 

Measure your abilities:
- What can you do? 
- How long does it usually take for me to learn a foreign language? 
- How busy are you now? 

Make a plan. There is only one way to eat an elephant: a bite at a time. How about booking a 30 min trial class and discussing the plan with a teacher? This is the first tiny step on a long road to start. My name is Angelina, and I am the italki language tutor. Welcome to contact me if you need some help.
