Try watching movies, TV shows, listening to music or reading books. Gain exposure to the way English is commonly used.

In my first years I had a tutor. The level was a lot higher than at school and because it was one-on-one I developed great talking skills. So that was for grammar, vocabulary and speech.
I learned a lot through songs. There are plenty of songs on youtube that are translated. You should find ones that have both the lyrics in English and the translation, or at least look up the translation on another site. A big portion of my English is from One Direction songs lol (I was 9, please don't judge).
Video games, especially The Sims, since it uses everyday words.
MOVIES. I love watching movies and series as a way of learning. I used to watch them with subtitles in my native language, that taught me pronunciation + translation. After a few years, there was a show I really liked and couldn't wait for the subtitles, so I watched it in English. I didn't understand much, so my conclusion is: watch with English subtitles. You get pronunciation + writing + context, and it makes things a lot clearer. At first I used to have a notebook and whenever there was a word I didn't know, I'd write it down and then look up for the translation.
Youtube - find a topic that interests you and enjoy yourself. Most of the youtube channels are in English anyway. But first be sure you can at least somewhat understand without subtitles or with English subtitles only. I watched a lot of DIY videos when it was trendy, which was awesome because those were American girls (not some complicated accent that I have to figure out) who spoke loud and the vocabulary was pretty basic. Even if I didn't understand something they said, they SHOWED it, so I learned from context. So I guess I recommend watching different kinds of tutorials. Youtube really helps in learning every day language and communication.
Talking to people! I met a lot of awesome pepnpals in an attempt to learn English. Text and video call, it's fun and interesting and super helpful. There are subreddits dedicated for it, and you're welcome to message me as well :)
Books - personally I don't read, but my sister does and her English is amazing. Start from reading books you have already read in your native language and read them in English. When you feel you're ready, start new books in English. Just make sure the books don't have TOO MUCH unfamiliar vocabulary, or else it'll just be exhausting.
The bottom line is - consume as much media as you can in English and talk to people!

Merhaba, what did help me was... Media. Listening to English songs, trying to translate and understand their lyrics, was something I did as a young child. Later I started watching movies undubbed. First with subtitles in my native language, then English subtitles, then none at all. And I spent time with people from different nations. I had a boyfriend from the US, I talked and wrote in English speaking chats and forums, and so on, and so on. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. People are very forgiving if they know that you're no native speaker. The most important part, to me, is staying in touch with the new language. As soon as you stop using it, you'll forget many things you used to know.

Not being a native English speaker myself, the best advice I can give you is to use the language. Read, write, listen, and speak a lot. Find things you enjoy doing in English. For me, online games, TV-shows, books and articles, and videos have taught me almost everything I know. The key is to mimic native speakers in how they use their language, and having no shame doing so! Good luck!

Your post was easy to read. "I've been learning English for 2 years and I am not getting better" would be correct, but the message was still there.
No language is easy to learn, as verbal language is one of the newest concepts in our brains. I don't know what you need help with specifically, but I can tell you how I best learn.
-Music: Music is my obvious number one go to. When I started learning German, one of the first things I did was find a various amount of bands in German, and just listened to their music. I can sing the entirety of "Das Model" by Kraftwerk, although I can't tell you what half the words in it mean, but that is okay. If I ever get frustrated by not understanding a phrase, I can either wait until I learn it using one of my other methods, or I just look up a translation online (Disclaimer: online translations are not 100% perfect, but again, it is more about understanding the message that is attempted to be delivered than getting it perfect. The details can come later.
-Reading: Books, books, and let me tell you, you don't have enough books in English. Reading will build your vocabulary and sentence fluency far more than any other method on this list. The only problem I have ever experienced in reading is that usually they have proper grammar and isn't always written as it is spoken. That being said, it is far better to read a few books in perfect English than it is to just not read anything.
-Movies: Take your favorite movie, and change the language to English. Chances are the translations aren't completely accurate to the original script, but you will hear about 2 hours of English in context of a story you know and can follow without knowing the words perfectly. When you are confident enough, watch a movie you have NEVER seen before, and watch it first in English. See how many words and phrases you can pick out and know the meaning of. Follow the conversations to the best of your ability. Most importantly, LISTEN. Movies are going to be your best friend for pronunciations and annunciations. Sometimes, I don't even watch the screen. I just listen to the movie and what they are saying, understanding as much as I can and then I will just watch it for real later.
-Use it: This is going to be the hardest tip on the list, as it requires another person who knows the language you are learning, but how do you expect to learn how to use a language if you don't... use the language? It is possible, but it will be SO much easier if you have someone that you can talk to in English so your mouth and brain both get used to translating in real time, and if you are talking to someone who knows English well, than they can confirm that you are speaking your message correctly and near the manner that a native speaker would. I just landed in Berlin a few days ago, and still don't speak much German, but being surrounded by it is helping immensely. Going to the store and being forced to read signs and labels that I really can't read; following the stores bright neon lights into different sections; it all helps. Surround yourself as much as you can by the language you desire to learn, and you will quickly find that you are learning it.
I hope one of these helped and I also hope you are able to read all that I typed, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to shoot me a message. I am not on Reddit 24/7 but I do try to hop on once a day or so. I hope your language learning goes well :)

There are two main factors that impact language acquisition -- pressure and time. Given enough time, anyone can become skilled, but you're talking about fast learners, so let's discuss the other factor: pressure.
Whether the pressure is social pressure, or job pressure, or survival need, or internal drive, or whatever, the more pressure there is, the faster you'll learn. Low pressure situations (high school class with no native speaker friends, hobby for the hell of it and no deadline) lead to longer learning times with lower quality outcomes.
Sounds to me like financial pressure is creating high drive to learn quickly.
