This will certainly help you to memorize frequently used expressions and structures that will conveniently appear in your head when you need to describe a similar situation.

Watch movies, listen to radio and read

These are also tried and tested techniques that will help you overcome the language barrier. Start with movies. Usually the language in them is lighter, but it will be very useful for you in talking on basic and everyday topics. If you are having trouble, you can watch the movie with subtitles first and then turn them off to concentrate entirely on language rather than content. When you feel more confident, try radio or TV news. You don't despair unless you start to understand right away. Often these shows are more dynamic, which makes them harder to perceive. But regular exercise will help you begin to understand even people with different accents. Books are a great tool for learning, but to help you and talk it is good to try reading aloud.
