Depends which stage I am.

If I am a beginner: read children's books, do extensive reading (reading while rarely looking anything up), learn as many words that I can, watch Youtube videos directed toward beginners so I can learn simple phrases and hear the spoken language, have conversations with speakers of my target language, read a grammar book and practice writing sentences as I learn new grammar rules.

If I am intermediate (meaning that I can have a conversation entirely in the target language on a limited range of topics and understand most of what is spoken to me): read newspapers and books (in subjects that I would normally read) alternating between extensive and intensive reading, listen to podcasts spoken entirely in the language every chance I get, watch TV shows in the target language (subtitles in the target language are okay), listen to music in the language, have conversations with speakers of my target language more frequently, use a grammar book only as an occasional reference guide, practice writing on a wide range of topics

If I am advanced (meaning that I can have a comfortably have a conversation entirely in the target language on a wide range of topics): pretty much the same as in intermediate level, only I make more of an effort to learn new vocabulary and avoid grammatical errors. Also, if possible, try to watch TV and movies with subtitles in the target language and understand all the grammar and vocabulary that the characters use. At the advanced level, I am more focused on perfecting what I have already developed.

Hi Dahiana, Is everything okay?
My methods to learn English is trying to do everything in English. When I have to speak to anyone, I try to do in English even if I make mistakes. I think this is a great chance for me to fix my mistakes. 
Another way that I use to do is listening to a song in English and try to sing it.
Reading books help a lot if you have I super recommend for you to read. The last one, and my opinion, it's the best of them. Helping other people to speak, read in English contribute to your learning. 
It has been helping me a lot in my studying and learning English. When I have a chance to help a friend of mine with English I do this with a great opportunity to help myself and my friend to learn this fantastic Language.

Hey! Try to learn with as much authentic material as possible (not made for language learners) but understand that content made for native speakers is much harder than anything you will encounter in a language learning text book/app.
I would recommend finding an interesting podcast (all NPR podcasts have free transcripts) or YouTube channel and read the transcript while listening. Only listen for the first 2 minutes or so. It takes a lot of brain power in the beginning to "process" the new language so take breaks and expect to feel a bit tired. It helps if you find the language itself genuinely interesting to learn in addition to having a goal for learning it. Best of luck!

A lot of practice and patient. (Consejo De hispanohablante no memorizes las cosas y no trates de traducir en tu cabeza) deja que todo vaya fluido, no tengas miedo de equivocarte todos hemos pasado por lo Mismo. Mucha suerte!
