It took me a few years to become fluent in Spanish - now I've been in Costa Rica almost 14 years so it's not so difficult. Things that helped me include:
a) Only speak English. Force yourself not to speak Chinese.
b) Ask your English speaking friends to correct you when you make a mistake.
c) Watch the news in English - the images help you understand what they are talking about.
d) If you have a favorite book you have read many times, buy it in English. You will be able to follow the story because you are familiar with it. You will be able to figure out new words just from your familiarity with the story.
I hope this helps
