learning real english

Hi i'm Sohail from Iran,i wanna ask native english speakers in US or UK or anywhere that english is the official language, have you ever come across an english learning tutorial that you thought to yourself that this is really native-like english teaching and told yourself this is the thing they should be doing to learn english just like us?

Try to listen to as much English as you can prior to your move to China. Films with subtitles are very good source material, along with the links I have posted earlier in this thread.
