Podcasts (different topics): you can find them through google or itunes.

Apps for mobiles:

I can't remember the name of the one Edu mentioned in class, was it vlanguage? And Águeda also mentioned the BBC application which must be really good.

Any other resources that you find useful, you can add here, so that we can all try them.

An excellent reference point is EOI Jesus Maestro's "virtual classroom". Here's the link:

And something that's always good to remember: try to take English to your territory, by using it for things that are interesting to you. It has to be fun, that way you can make sure you have the necessary motivation when things get difficult.
