I believe that there are great tips for you in the previous posts, but you should realize that the newspaper language is not what is normally used in conversation - different vocabulary, special idioms etc., so it would definitely help you to improve your vocabulary, but could be sometimes pretty useless in everyday conversation.

Right. So what would you suggest I read/watch/listen to, to improve my everyday English conversation? .
I'ts dissapointing if we can no lounger relay on The Grauniad for our daily does of tyspo.I've seen about 3 or 4 errors in the BBC online news over the last year or so, and about as many in the Toronto Star online. I haven't noticed any in the Guardian though.
