Improve your English on your own

• Read about the most common mistakes Spanish speakers make 
• Songs with mistakes
• Silent letters
• Joy of languages. This polyglot teacher has a blog where you will find lots of useful tips to learn languages from home.

• Ororo. You can watch lots of videos without the need to register. However, if you register, you will have access to lots of series and films (there are 45 minutes a day for free and different subscription plans) What I like about Ororo is that you can watch a TV series in English but you can slow down a bit the speed of reproduction, which helps your understanding of it a lot.
• Improve your listening skills with podcasts:

- The Merriam-Webster dictionary has short podcasts with the meaning and history of words. Check out this example

- Quick and dirty Tips. There is a section on grammar, but any section will do.

-In the dark. (American English) APM reports. Report on a real case teenage abduction and murder.

-Revisionist history. Malcolm Gladwell's journey through the overlooked and the misunderstood. Every episode re-examines something from the past—an event, a person, an idea,or even a song
