I need corrections and advice
To date, I can read English. Well, I can read almost all texts. Even, I can write suficiently for my job.
I have noticed when I am watching a movie in English with subtitles in English, I understand but I understand the subtitle but not what I have heard.
It is evident that my problem is the listening.
I have a friend, she say: You need you listen to music, memorice the liriycs and undestand all the words, sing to song many times a day
I do it with trhee ABBA´s songs, the results obtained is: I know seven new words: worth Through, come, while, still, take and worth but I don't see improvement.
Is iy a good metod?. Do you have a better idea?

I will tell you that I have the same problem with my Spanish. I can read most general texts like newspapers and web posts. However I struggle to understand spoken Spanish. If the speaker is speaking very slowly and I understand the general topic I can comprehend some phrases but not all. The more I listen, the more I understand. Maybe learning just takes more time! :)

That is one way, but maybe not the best way for what you want to do. I do have some song lyrics memorized in German, French, and Serbian and that sometimes helps me remember an exact phrase that I want to say, but I don't think it helps with listening to conversations. The best way to practice that is to participate in a conversation. It is easiest face-to-face, because people communicate with their face and tone (and speak more slowly when it's clear that people don't understand). It is harder on a phone or just with audio, because there are fewer clues. It is hardest when it is a movie or recording of two native speakers speaking quickly.
The best way is to speak with someone face-to-face. But if you want, you could try finding short YouTube videos of interviews where they have subtitles in English. You can listen with the subtitles OFF and try to understand as much as you can. Then turn on the subtitles and see what you missed. Then turn them OFF again and repeat listening until it makes sense. Good luck!
