Listen as much music as you can.

While you are in your car on your way to school, taking a shower, cooking or doing other type of activities you can listen and practice your English with music.

Sing along with the music.

First search the lyric of the song and then try to sing along with it. Remember you have to sing it loud not only in your head so, you can imitate the sounds and the pronunciation.
