How can I learn to listen and understand when someone is speaking in English? Hello! I can understand the English language so many times when I'm reading a text, but it's hard for me when I'm listen to someone speaking in English (specially when he or she speaks fast). Please, if you can give me some suggestions to practice. Thanks a lot!

I like James' suggestion; you can also try watching movies in English with the subtitles on (in English). Because there is no translation, the subtitles are usually very close (if not exactly the same) to the spoken dialogue. Another thought to borrow from James' line of thinking: sometimes you can find audiobooks and listen to them while reading the original text. Good luck!

When I am learning a language, I like to listen to podcasts, which I take to the gym or on public transport when I have spare time anyway. There are several for English learners at different levels; I would start with those of the BBC, Voice of America or the British Council, which are free and well produced. Often they have transcripts, too, so if you can't make out what is said, these will help you.
