Read Spanish out loud while you record yourself and then listen to what you recorded. It has to be a whole page or somewhat big paragraph.

Watch Spanish movies without subtitle.

Purpose?

Honing your listening and speaking skills

End result?

Fluency while speaking and losing some or most of your accent/drawl

Yes! Reading out loud. "Otoño del patriarca" by Gabriel García Márquez has sentences that go on for pages. - DonBigoteDeLaLancha, Apr 26, 2015

I learned many years ago using a short wave radio receiver and a subscription to "Selecciones de Readers' Digest".

Hoy I would use the radio stations and newspapers that are on the internet. In the audio, you should pick stations that are "talk radio". As a bonus, you can pick your accent, depending on the station that you select.

Also, I recently purchased an internet radio so that I can listen to Spanish without being in my office (away from my computer). I have a favorite Spanish (from Madrid) station that wakes me in the morning.

Although at first thought radio is a god idea, movies from any country in the world you choose is even better. - chileno, Apr 27, 2015

There are many programs out there and on youtube as well that helps you create sentences and link words so you remember them visually so you can speak them, check out visual link Spanish on youtube.
