My point is not to stress out and be afraid of English language, no one can tell you specifically where to start from. You can use textbooks but even Michael Swan claims that if he were to hire himself as his research assistant, he would have turned himself down. These are his words on his own website. So learn the language in a natural way and don't categories anything as a "basic" or "advanced" level - anyone can learn anything at any instant and no one knows everything. What seems basic to some are advanced to others and what is advanced to others is basic to some.

Yes you are pretty right about learning the language, but no kid jumps straight to the urdu as Mirza Ghalib spoke, there is a thing called "scheming" , which is psychology related term . Kids learn language either by imitation of bare words and then they scheme them until the time they can figure out what is suitable to say and when.
Micheal Swan is not for beginners and that is the white truth and should be told so. I really admire your genius self that it never occurred to you to consult any basic level books.
