Who here listens to English music to improve their listening skills?
Because if you are not doing this already, then you really should be.
I like MANY kinds of music and I am kind of a big musicology nerd. I enjoy sharing music with people from around the world.
I usually like to recommend music that is clear and not too fast and often with lyrics related to themes of love and heartbreak since these are universal concepts that most anyone can relate to.
Bands such as The Beatles and The Carpenters are good for beginning (or any) English learners.
Although I like a whole lot more music than these styles.
You say you can't understand and it goes too fast? Follow along with the written words and memorize them. Sing along if you want. I have a Russian friend that credits his love for music as being the reason his English is as good as it is.

I listen to music for it.
I found some English channels in internet, but I can't understand what I watch. I watched it not very long (only some days), but after that I started to hear more better English songs (I could understand nothing 1-2 years ago) and now I listen to music from radio every day during 3-10 hours.
Thank you very much for new names of songs. I will try to find them

Assuming you find the music enjoyable, allow me to recommend the following: 1.The Beatles - If I fell, 2.The Beatles - Yesterday, 3. The Beatles - I Will, 4.The Carpenters - Close To You, 5.The Carpenters - Hurting Each Other, 6.The Carpenters - We've Only Just Begun, 7.The Zombies - This Will Be Our Year, 8.The Everly Brothers - Let it Be Me, 9.The Everly Brothers - Love Hurts. Most of the songs I mentioned are about heartbreak, but they are slow songs with words that are pretty clear and lyrics that are not too complex to follow or understand. Really, these are just recommendations based on what I think would be good to use. You should really chose the music that you enjoy most and have a desire to learn the words to and listen to many times.

Sorry, I am not used to the format of these posts yet. Let's try that again with commas.
