The Internet offers an unbelievable set of resources for experiencing and learning foreign languages.
If you want to develop listening skills, for example, there must be hundreds of thousands of YouTube videos of all kinds and levels of English. For example, just one example, a few weeks ago we celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States.
Here is Martin Luther King Jr's. speech, "I Have a Dream:"

And here is the text, so you can read along with it:

Starting at about 12:00 in the video, we reach a part in which the English is RELATIVELY easy, and he repeats key phrases over and over.
The approach I'm taking in trying to learn Spanish, besides Rosetta Stone and personal lessons from a teacher I found on italki, is to explore what interests me--in Spanish. Spanish newspapers online. The Spanish Wikipedia. I've changed my computer's language setting to Spanish so that I'm exposed to a tiny bit of Spanish in a functional setting all day long.
