If there are not any English schools in your town, you can still study English through other ways. One of the cheapest way to improve your listening skill is by listening to broadcasts in English. If you have a short-wave radio, you can listen to the Voice of America, BBC London and many international programs. Most countries have international programs which broadcasts news, feature stories, and music and cultural programs in English. Unfortunately, the sound quality of short wave radio is lower than FM broadcasts. Many English programs can be listened through satellite disc antenna.
