listening and speaking skills and how to improve'em?

What is the best way to improve our listening and speaking skills?

In my point of view the best way to improve listening skill is watching movies which are in English and i myself found it useful.

How about speaking skill? someone told me you have to sit in front of mirror and talk with yourself but i think this helps us to get more confidence and it may not very useful about speaking skill cuz when you're talking with yourself you can't be creative and you're not that excited than talking with a person. So i'm looking for another ideas about these types of learning,hope to hear from you :D

my boring small hometown :D I'm living in the small town in North-East of Iran.Everything is boring here even sports :| and the problem is how to make fun of things in this place.Everyday doing repetitive things such as learning , talking , walking , and watching boring TV shows :\.But i have decided to do something thriller, i'm going to live on my own in another city but i expect that it will be really hard for me at first.I have to go to school,learning languages,shopping and even working :| my father told me that it'll be very tedious for you but after that you know how to look after yourself.I really hope that it won't be a bad experience for me.:D
