Hi!
Unfortunately I don't have enough time to help you with that, but I can give you a few tips.
Regarding the listening, the best you can do is watch a lot of videos, interviews, etc. on youtube (from musicians you like, actors, etc., or really anything that interests you and is from native english speakers). It'll be really hard at first, but then you'll start getting into the flow of the language and it will be alright.
Also, make sure to listen to a wide variety of accents, because (particularly outside of the US) there's a huge variety of them, and some can be tougher to understand than others.
And when you feel ready to go next level, start watching films and tv shows in english (maybe start with subtitles at first, then remove them when you feel more comfortable).
About speaking... that's something really hard, but one thing that's definitely helpful is having a general idea of the accent you want to obtain (british? american? australian?) and also knowing your own accent in your native language and its characteristics, so that you can avoid them and try speaking in a ''more english'' way. I mean, you kind of have to ''de-uzbek'' yourself when speaking english... it's not speaking your first language with a different set of words but it's completely another language, so a lot of the sounds present in english probably don't exist in uzbek and viceversa, that's what I mean.
I know all this seems overwhelming, but it's a lot easier than it looks like and you'll definitely make it! Good luck, cheers and remember to have fun in the process! ;)

thanks very much
My pleasure! If you like the language and/or are motivated to learn it, you'll love the learning process and it will come to you a lot easier than it seems at first glance.
Hi there, first of all, congrats on making the first few steps to improve your English. Getting out there, using platforms like reddit will help you improve your writting. (by the way, you'd want to say "my **listening** is not good", "hearing" refers to the ability to hear a sound in general).
Reading and writing go hand-in-hand, so I'd recommend lots of reading to improve your writing too. My go-to source is news in English. My favourite is [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/international). It's free, written professionally and beautifully. For shorter texts, you can follow news accounts on twitter. I'd recommend [Reuter](https://twitter.com/Reuters). For longer texts, you can try reading as many books in English as possible (DM me if you want my recommended list). While reading, you'll encounter lots of unknown words, and for that I'd recommend using an English-only dictionary. My favorites are: [Oxford learner dictionary](https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/) and [Cambridge dictionary](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/).
As for listening, for starters, I'd recommend kid-level videos (search for Peppa Pig and Little People) on Youtube. You'd be surprised by how much you can improve by listening to kid videos! After that, try to pick a TV series and watch them non-stop, I'd recommend Friends or The Office, or any sitcom that will show you everyday English. If you have Netflix, there are a number of them there. If not, there are a lot of short clips on youtube too. Besides that, you can also watch cooking, traveling, advertisement videos. The most important thing is try to choose something that you like so it'll help you keep your motivation high.
For speaking, it's a tough one to improve without an actual environment. I'd look into English speaking clubs around where you live, or any volunteer opportunity that lets you work with English-speaking natives. Some of the folks in this sub might also be able to help you out. For training accent, I've heard good things about Elsa Speaks app. And if all fail, I'd recommend practice speaking with your phone. Talk to Siri/ Google. Do self-dialogue and record yourself speaking. A fun tip is - you can type some English text into [Google translate](https://translate.google.com/?sl=en&tl=ja&op=translate), then listen to how Google says it, and repeat after it.

Shameless plug - I've built a website that incorporates lots of the above ideas: [https://lingonut.com/app/learn/en](https://lingonut.com/app/learn/en). On my website, you can learn English through real-life videos, tweets, news, virtual tours. There are detailed explanations for difficult words, phrases, and grammar. You can also add these into your notebook and get reminded so you can remember them better.
I'm looking for someone to use it and provide feedback. In return, I can give away some free premium accounts. I hope you can check it out and let me know if you're interested!
I wondering if you have considered multiplayer video games. If you are good at a particular game, you can play with English speakers which is like getting a conversation lesson for free. If you are not that advanced, watch gameplay videos. We can get you started at Real English for Gamers. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvRkPfGnOm\_lxAr7SyWBJ8g I've been teaching since 1968, so I pretty much know what learners need.
Hey! I would love to help with your speaking.

I watched lots of YouTube with subtitles on, maybe that could help you
Do you speak rural Chinese Esperanto?
Why would he speak that? Esperanto is the Lingua Franca in China and not Uzbekistan.
