This topic is in the FAQ but to my shame I didn't read it. I found it accidentally. It is great to listen to good English just sitting in front of the computer.

I used to do it regulary but I've also mentioned it many times - I simply can't stand the policy it claims towards our country. When the military parade on the 9th of May is called "sabre rattling" I get sore face. So now on - just discussing literature and sport.

It's quite understandable. Although sometimes I find it interesting to compare completely different opinions of Russian journalists and foreign ones about the same event. For example about the one you mentioned.

BBC 5 is one of my favourite online radio stations now. I think it is much better from the point of learning English comparing to BBC News. There are a lot of talks on day-to-day situations. A lot of ordinary people calling the radio station and talking to presenters.

No problem, listen to BBC 4. It's not concerned with politics.

Some say they have porridge in mouth, but I also like it!

Waaa, I LOVE BBC 5! Anyway, I got a question guys just to make sure I'm on the right track. I listen to it on a daily basis and I can pick up all the words now. Though, I can't still "follow" them. This seems to be a listening skill problem. So should I just keep listening everyday to improve it?

I think listening to BBC or NPR is a great way to get experience with the English language. I also recommend to my students this website that has great English speakers and a variety of topics: http://www.ted.com/. Check it out and let me know what you think.
