I find watching TV soaps and easy-to-watch movies very good to help with listening skills. Especially soaps are quite good, as the stories tend to be simple and repetitive so, even if I can't understand the lot, I can follow the story and little by little understand new words, also looking at body language and lip reading helps a lot.
Basically, I would like to pick your brains see if you have any names of series and movies, and if you know of any interesting link to Russian TV online.
Thanks for your help!
