> Even better if you can find a show where there's a character you identify with, an actor who is similar to you in "type". The problem is I'm a smart-ass and people don't like me speaking like Archer. But seriously, I got way more comfortable understanding spoken English by watching seasons of Supernatural. I would only add that I found subtitles very helpful because understanding an accent you're not used to is very hard without a little help. An alternative being watching something you already watched in your own language so you know what's going on and can fill the holes.
