How about watching some online videos that have subtitles? As I am English, I immediately thought of the BBC which has a service called "iPlayer". Nearly all the TV programmes they have broadcast in the past week are available, most of them with subtitles. Unfortunately, at the moment, I think this service is not available without charges outside the UK, but they are extending it and making some programmes available in other countries. So that could be a source for the future.
Wow!!!!! Thank you very much for the useful information!! I saw all the sites and they are great. I'll look into them and find out how I should make effective use of them.
I've bought a new PC. I think I should install Skype.
I'm studying English every day but I don't seem to improve!
I sometimes have to speak English at my job, I want to be active internationally both in business and in helping poor children around the world go to school. And if possible, I'd like to work abroad for a few years.
So I need to be able to speak English.
Please give me advice and point out any strange English!

Meanwhile, I'm sure there must be something on YouTube. I found these:

Many of Google's videos (www.youtube.com/user/Google) have subtitles. For example:

I imagine you don't necessarily want English lessons, but I found some listening practice videos at:

In addition, you could listen to me on Skype! My username is timfrost. Call me sometime.
