If you followed the link in my previous blog entry and listened to Stephen Krashen speaking about how we learn foreign languages ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXJwGFpfCY8&feature=related ), you'll know that interesting, understandable input in the second language is key!
In other words, find interesting material to read, listen to, or watch in the second language. Video material is great because it helps make the "input" understandable.
Here's a link to 39 free video lectures on "The History of Western Architecture", taught by Jacqueline Gargus at Ohio State University (USA): http://www.openculture.com/2012/11/the_history_of_western_architecture_in_39_free_lectures_.html .
Not interested in architecture? No problem! There are countless excellent, free resources now available on the internet. Just search for material on your topics of interest. (YouTube can be a good place to start looking, if you can access it. If not, just search elsewhere -- searching online in English is great language practice, too.)
Happy learning!
