Listening to American radio and television is a good way to become more familiar with our language, but realize that what you will hear is often not 'correct' English, but is more informal (which is also important to learn!)

Oh, and you might want to refer to it as "spoken" English, rather than "oral" English — there is also a sexual connotation to the word oral.
