I hope these are helpful! Depending on what country you are from watching TV from your country in English can be helpful.
example Iranian News at Press TV

Also find and listen to Voice of America in Special English Broadcasts
which has a special section for foreign students. The broadcasts are read slowly and words are spoken very clearly usually broadcast to Africa in the Evenings but can be accessed online at
Special English | Learning English

Or TV from the middle east
AJE - Al Jazeera English
also in good quality English.

We all learn language by hearing and seeing so the more interaction you have with ordinary american's daily is important. Joining a community center that works only in English and not your own language may help too! Watching American TV shows can be helpful for basic english too!
