How I want to improve my English comprehending and prounounciation?
In my opinion these ideas beneath are great:
1. I'll be watching more movies with English audio and with polish or english subtitles on Netflix (unecessary I don't understand movies without any subtitles).
2. I'll be check pronounciation of new words in a dictionary - for example: Cambridge Dictionary, Diki and in other tools - for example Ivona TTS, Google Translator.
3. I'll be learn new words in contextes, ever with good pronounciation (a part of materials in my favourite application called "Memrise" is without any pronounciation).
4. I'll be listening and than reading loud (maybe with recorder) materials in different levels (newsinlevels.com).
And of course more and more speaking with my learning English teacher and other foreign language persons.

How I want to improve my English comprehending and prounounciation?
How do I want to improve my English comprehension and pronunciation?
In my opinion these ideas beneath are great:(Or: ...the ideas below are great:)
1. I'll be watching more movies with English audio and with Polish or English subtitles on Netflix (unnecessary I don't understand movies without any subtitles). (If you don't understand them without subtitles, it seems like the subtitles are necessary, not unnecessary though.)
2. I'll be checking pronounciation the pronunciation of new words in a dictionary - for example: Cambridge Dictionary, Diki and in other tools - for example Ivona TTS, Google Translator Translate.
3. I'll be learn (or: I'll be learning) new words in contextes context, ever always with good pronounciation (a part of materials in my favourite application called "Memrise" is without any pronounciation).
4. I'll be listening and than then reading out loud (maybe with a recordering device) materials in at different levels (newsinlevels.com).
And of course more and more speaking with my learning English teacher and other people who speak foreign languages persons.

Sounds good! Don't forget YouTube, that might be more helpful than Netflix in some ways. You don't have to watch entire shows and movies, you can look for tutorials on other things you're interested in. Plus, you can play youtube videos at .75 speed, which can help with comprehension without subtitles. Good luck!

Thank you for your remark. I’d like to start from this think: I know and intensively use the Memrise. However, it’s true that I didn’t know about service called Rhinospike. In according to Memrise, I want to notice that I use only ready courses in this service (created by other users or directly Memrise’s team). The proposal of buying the press called “English Matters” seems so pretty, but I prefer solutions free of charge – f.e.: a digital version of bilingual airport press (http://airport.wroclaw.pl/lotnisko/dla-mediow/magazyn/). After your comment I searched materials named “English Matters) and I found many adds (f.e. with specifical vocabulary) also free of charge. (f.e.: http://em.colorfulmedia.pl/dodatki/I've%20Got%20the%20Looks_EM55.pdf). Thank you for inspiration. Could you scribe me how do you use Rhinospike? Do you use this tool for whole phrases or single words? Thank you in advance for your next answer!

You can actually read a magazine called English matters (http://em.colorfulmedia.pl/sub,pl,themenliste.html) The vocabulary is translated into Polish. :-)
I see a lot of similar answers about learning new vocabulary in context. But to be honest that will take you quite a lot of your time. What I am doing is reading vocabulary lists and pick those words that might be important for me. After making my own list I add them to my Memrise account. I put the new words on Rhinospike so that other people can record those words.
I've tried point 4 about recording your own voice. After the recording I try to listen to it and when I think it might be good enough, I will send it to a couple native English speakers for feedback.
Let me know what you think about it :-).
