Jennifer is an American teacher who is publishing high quality English videos lessons on YouTube. The material is excellent and there are over 110 videos to watch on various topics from Vocabulary to Grammar and including Pronunciation.
In particular, I highly recommend this series on lessons (below) on Pronunciation. If you work through this series and do the exercises the entire way you listen to English will completely change and, in time, your pronunciation will improve dramatically.

WiRED, to my mind, is one of the mots interesting Magazine for those interested in anything new in the area of Lifestyles, Science, the Arts, Communication, Technology, etc;
This monthly US Magazine has, to top it all, a very exciting layout…
It may be difficult to find in a news agent in Europe though…
So you might have to content yourself with the website: www.wired.com
The site itself has many podcats and videos as well. All very challenging material for one who wishes to improve ones ENGLiSH!
