There are many ways to listen to the same piece of news over and over again. This is the key to learning. Repetition. Play the same news piece repeatedly and try to pick up words every time. Close your eyes and just listen. Don't try to pick up the words yet, just get used to the sound. Then work your way through each piece. Good luck!

If you want to learn basic English, I have many videos on youtube that are available from my profile page and my blog. You are welcome to save them to your computer and play them again and again. My accent is Canadian, of course, but I sound like most Americans, certainly the newscasters on most stations and on the Internet.
