What do you mean exactly? You can't reproduce the sounds you hear?

Hi Zak,
Here is a very good tip for you, and all other people who like to improve their listening. BBC site provides its listeners with some programmes about English, "Talking about English" twice a week. You can listen to the programmes again and again (there are some cocabulary and phrase training,... ) and you can also download the script. My advice is to listen to the programme first without looking at the text, then you can refer to the text to see what words or phrases you missed. Here is the address: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/radio/index.shtml
You'll see the link to "Words in the News" at the right of the same page, that is a piece of news you can listen to, with the text and definitions of the difficult words. This one has a 3-year archive, so that you can listen to the programmes aired in 2003 onwards!
These are really great, hope that you enjoy them. There are lots of other programmes that you can choose to listen to, without the text, according to your interest. My favorite is the "Arts and Drama" that they air plays, novels, short stories, sometimes best sellers,....and they keep the programme for one week after it is aired, so that you have a one-week opportunity to listen to each programme.
You are aware of the role of movies,... , jut try to watch them without subtitles for the first time. It takes time, I know, but you'll see the difference after some time. Don't forget trying to talk to anyone who can speak English.
Good luck,
Cheers

Hello All!

I'm from Russia, and I'm learning English. I'm listening to BBC (exactly BBC_7) via Internet almost every day. I heard there, for example, story by David Almond "Skelling". There a girl sings one slowly song. But I have bad auding so I can't understand almost any words whish does she sing. Could you tell my what does she sing or who does it sing (singer's name or group) and I will find this lyrics in Internet.
You can hear this song at the end of part #8 Book by David Almond "Skelling"

Best regards, Alexander

Hello, Shakti, welcome to the forums!
This is what I'll suggest: take all your questions one by one, and post them either in the "vocabulary and idioms" or "general English grammar questions" section, so we can deal with each one. see you soon, then!
