Find a time during the day when you can listen carefully and without interruption to the radio, tune it to the BBC World Service (or the equivalent broadcasts from the US or Canada), and make sure you keep a pencil and paper to hand. When you hear an unfamiliar word or phrase, make a note of it, and what you think it means, and how it has been pronounced. Later you can use a dictionary in the library to check the meanings of the words, and in a larger dictionary you may also find some of the expressions used.
