English courses

Hi all!
I am searching for good english courses. 
Currently main chose is between speak-up and British Council.
British Council propose classic curse (as i understand) - only lessons with the teacher, without multimedia lessons. But there is no confidence that you will enter to the course group after testing.
There are restriction of numbers groups

the best way to learn English is to do it alone. I'll try to explain why.
first, nobody can teach you if you don't want it to.if you really want to improve your language skills, you have to do the next things: 1 - is to speak English as more, as possible.unfortunately you can't do it in BC or Speak-up because of a membership in your group, but you can do it at home, being alone. 2 - is to watch films in origin, 2-3 a week with English subtitles, extracting unfamiliar words and word-combinations and studying them. 3 - is to buy a good English grammar and to study it.
BC and Speak-up are good courses, but they are inefficient. I got it from my personal experience. Wish you luck:)
