How to improve your LISTENING skills (2)

Together with the tips and the webpages suggested on the previous post, there are a couple of things I would like to add: 
- It's really important to listen to English ON A REGULAR BASIS. I know you're really busy people, but just try it. You don't have to be two or three hours but just half an hour or an hour each day. 
  • Listen to English podcasts or radio programmes when you're driving, cooking or just doing something at home.. 
  • Watch movies and TV series or programmes in English. 
  • Listen to English music. Choose a song each day, download the lyrics and SING IT!!!!! Doing this, you'll improve your listening, your vocabulary and your pronunciation. Besides, you'll have a really nice time! 
  • Of course, use the different webpages devoted to English learners which have specific exercises.
