Watch American films. Taking in a film that uses a foreign language is an effective way to get accustomed to how the language is spoken naturally. Though you may have difficulty understanding the movie, you will begin to internalize facets of the language. Watch films that are lighthearted at first, as films with a serious tone may be too difficult to follow when you are first learning the language.
