It is best to be constantly listening to english (radio stations, tv, movies, tapes etc) Watching movies as well, watching the speakers lips. Start with subtitles, as it can be very fast, and its best not to choose comedy as the language is often very complicated and fast beat. I agree, reading a couple of news articles each day really helps.

Find a good friend who speaks it.

你好 我觉得你应该学只有一个外文。你真浓缩学一个外文。见电影和听音乐。 Hey, I think you should learn only one foreign language at a time. This way you can concentrate on just English instead of several others that may confuse you. (Italian/French/Spanish etc.) And the best way to learn English is by either watching American movies/tv shows or by talking to English/American people. Another thing that might help is trying to read the news in English. 祝你好运！ 再见
