What is an effective way to practice English?

I don't think my pracitce of English has improved recently. I've been trying to speak English in a shadowing style, which means I speak the words that I hear from native speaker. In the meantime, I would like to recommend one of the Japanese movies. It is called "General-Rouge of triumphant return" It's a suspense film that takes place in a hospital.
