It's great that you're thinking about this, because a lot of people don't even consider this before coming to the US to study.

Watching American TV of course is great. Another idea is to expand your vocabulary. I would recommend signing up for the "word of the day" on dictionary.com or getting a word-a-day calendar or something like that.

Another idea would be to go online and read the daily newspaper of a big American city...such as the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, or the Chicago Tribune. This wil not only educate you on what's going on but it will improve your English.

Good luck!
