How do I improve my listening English efficiently? I spent much time in English tapes, dictation or something like that, but it seems not take effect. I 'm very depressed. Maybe my practice is not enough and I know it is difficult to be better quickly, but I really want to find an efficient way.

I'm not english: sorry for errors. For a very basic listening, I recommend you to listen at least two "tales" a day from http://www.rong-chang.com/nse/ First, LISTEN each phrase using pause button, and then read the text, looking for new words in a online dictionary with listening words, like bab.la . At the end listen all without pausing. Read such as you need. When you get some skills, you can listen podcasts in USA english from http://www.eslpod.com/website/index_new.html You can select topics of your interest, download them as MP3, and listen them. Each podcast contains a short dialogue an a very long explanations, spoken at low speed. At the end, you can listen the original dialog at normal speech. Another podcast for basic UK english can be found at http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/elementary-podcasts It's a good chance for you to listen basic British english. Another improvement: configure your television set to listen movies in original version (usually english) with subtitles in your language, if possible. This will remember your needs in your spare time. You can do similar things with rented movies. Don't change configuration back: listening english is an skill that requires all your effort. If you like lyrics, music can be an unvaluable ally. "The Beetles" songs are in UK english and usually are slow enough. In any case, I think watching TV in english is a better option. I hope this helps you.

All of the above things are wonderful and I agree. I also think talking to a real person and communicating with them is very helpful as you have to think what they are saying for you to reply correctly. :} Your determination will get you far! You can do it!!

Watching Hollywood movies, television sitcoms, and listening to English songs might help.
