Understanding spoken English and speaking practice I would like to improve my ability to understand spoken English. I understood nothing trying to listen radio podcasts, some months ago. I decided to listen adaptive audio books and to watch movies in English. It brought me positive results, I begun to understand near 75% what I heard. Also, I clearly understood, passive listening without speaking not enough for further progress in understanding spoken English. So, I am here to find natives and speak to them. If anyone decide to help me with my English I can help him to speak Russian.
