To achieve any sort of fluency in English - to be able to speak smoothly without pauses and with the right tone and inflection - you need to do a lot of listening. You should be listening every day for 30 minutes or more.
However, don't listen to stuff you can't understand. Listen to easy things that are not too long. Movies with English subtitles are good, but don't try to listen to the whole movie. Try one scene or 5 minutes or so. And keep playing it back. Take notes. Look up vocabulary in a dictionary. Write it down. You can also get ebooks with the books read by famous actors. Read the book and listen.
There are lots of videos on the internet you can try, some with English subtitles. I have posted a video below, which has English subtitles. And here is a link to the Voice of America, which also has a weekly video with subtitles for English Learners.
Enjoy your English and keep practicing every day.
