Hi,
To practice listening, watch TV, listen to radio programs and music. You
can watch Arabic channels online.
Good Luck!

Hello from Brussels,

For students learning the skills of conference interpreting who intend  
to work into English, we recommend a practice called 'mirroring'.
This consists of listening to a speech or radio broadcast with a  
desirable standard worth emulating (BBC for example) and repeating out  
loud after hitting the pause button. It's inexpensive and very  
effective for activating passive knowledge and improving delivery.

For what it's worth.
