I am currently on American TV series <Desperate Housewives>, after hammering out two seasons of <Prison Break>___the speaking skill is improved greatly by doing so.
Such official English as VOA and BBC hampers a bit when you come to a certain level. But still I stick to English radio at least one hour a day, not for learning purpose, but for grasping what happened home and abroad.
You know what, it does help travel light without an ielts test haunding you.
