I'm not sure if you mean improving your language in general, or improving your language if you're learning another language. When I moved to Germany, watching TV was a good help in learning the language, like how to pronounce words correctly. Reading German-language magazines and books was more helpful, though.

What do you mean? Foreign language or english language?
It can be very helpful with foreign language. On television they use more slang and regular conversation rather than the correct way to say something in that language. Which face it noone speaks english the way it is supposed to be spoken. And when trying to learn another language, watching others talk is much more helpful than learning from books that use the proper word that noone actually says.

Loan DVDs, and select the language and the subtitles in the language you whant to learn. It's a good way to learn pronunciation, vocabulary, expressions...
