When I spoke English, I knew my words were something no common expression, so native speakers didn’t understand even though meaning was correct. I want to communicate in English clearly, effectively, and naturally. If I do that, I have to leearn common expression or slang. I usually went with my Canadian friend who is native speaker when he went to meet his friends. Then I was just listening their conversation, and I tried to understand, but I couldn’t. There were many slang and many words which I couldn’t understand. However, it becomes better and better to understand. Hearing conversation between native speakers is a good exercise to learn spoken English and common expression.
Recently, I often watched English movie. When I watched English movie, I tried to watch it without subtitle at first, but I couldn’t understand, it was so fast. Finally, I used English subtitle. However, I understood only approximately 60% of it because I didn’t know a lot of informal or slang expressions. I need to learn informal English, so I felt that I should watch TV more or talk with my native friends more.

Then I tried to get used to it.
You might ask why.
THis is how I overcome.
Try to watch some American films, like Friends. If it's toohard to understand what are they talking about, don't be ashame, try some cartoon. But I don't recommand the South Park.
