      practice makes perfect... talk to the natives, listen to online radio, watch
      films (but forget of subtitles)...

        Never forget about subtitles - mixed with listening help practice the way you
        hear and understand.

            The above mentioned pieces of advice, you should treat as the rules. It is
            really important. I think most people have problems with understanding spoken
            English (German, wotever). So did I. Only going abroad helped me a lot. In my
            opinion (as someone said), you should listen to the music, some tv - radio
            programmes or films. It is important to have subtitles as well. It helps.
            Greetings
            Good luck

      I have the same dilemma. I've been in UK for two years, and still don't
      understand what they speak... Fifty-fifty I guess... of course I did everything
      what was advised - the subtitles, many listenings etc, but haven't achieved the
      level I understand the written English so far...

      hate you though.
