With YouTube, many videos have interactive transcripts, which are like subtitles.
Here is an example, a Stanford University commencement speech by Steve Jobs.
Listen and read along.
In YouTube search "famous speeches" and you will find some great material for listening.
TED is also a great resource with lots of interesting speeches on interesting topics by interesting people.
You can follow along with the subtitles in English (or even other languages).
You can practice shadowing or just listen to the rhythm and stress of the speech.
Our very first learning is by modelling. We copy our parents. We can use modelling effectively in language learning as well.
