Hello Dominga! SpanishDict has a few learning resources, but only a few include actual words being spoken to you in Spanish. Here are some links that might be what you are looking for:
http://www.spanishdict.com/learn/courses
Learning Courses help you go from Beginner English or Spanish to Advanced English or Spanish respectively.
http://www.spanishdict.com/flashcards
You can make your own flashcards by clicking Create a Flashcard(at the top) or you can work on someone else's flashcards through the Recognize, Listen, and Recall sections.
http://www.spanishdict.com/translation
On Translation, you can type in any word(s) or phrase(s) in English or Spanish and get that word or phrase out in the other language.
I hope this will help you 
The links that rac has highlighted are a treasure trove.
You need to find people to talk to - locally, on skype or elsewhere. You say you are half hispanic - do you have links to your wider Spanish family? Do you live in an area with many hispanohablantes?
I am more used to the Spanish from Spain, but if you use resources from Spain it can all add to an improvement in your vocabulary and listening wherever you want to talk to people.
If you have the time and money, consider a course at a language school - realistically you need at least 2 weeks.
I think listening to music is a fantastic way to improve your listening. I don't know if your wish/ need to improve your Spanish relates to a particular area or culture?
The links from rac include some podcasts - you may also want to check out Spanish Obsessed which is run by an Englishman and his Colombian wife.
Here is a post about some Spanish listening sites
There are many videos on the web, google spanish videos. Listen to them speak, and repeat what they say (out loud) until you sound like what they are saying on the video. This worked for me, and I became very good quickly. I have verified my progress with my many friends who are native speakers! Listening skills also improve when you do this.
