That is not the best idea because if he doesn´t know how to pronounce it then it´s useless

Book isn't a good way to learn. I don't have memory to letters and paper words.

Hmmm... can't help you with your training... I'm not native speaker and I don't like doing things which I don't have to... speaking is one of those things…

But how about using Rosetta Stone? It is good program for learning (though I’ve tested only Korean and Japanese… but English should be great as well)

If you truly want to improve your English, the best way to do it is by constant listening. Radio and television both fulfill that purpose. These days, almost every radio channel in the U.S. has a website where you can listen to it online. To improve your English, I recommend "talk-radio" as it is almost all conversational English (i.e. very little music).

Two programs commonly heard on talk-radio in the U.S. are "National Public Radio" (liberal) and "The Rush Limbaugh Show" (conservative). Any radio station carrying either of those programs will almost certainly be a talk-radio station. You may, however, just prefer to listen to the BBC. Listen to whatever you like. The idea is to train your ear and brain to the sound of proper English by hearing it all the time. You will want to stick with either American English or British English until you speak it well. Mixing the two while learning will cause problems.

Its all about BBC FiveLive! Depending on times you tune in you could be listening to news, sports, politics, or talk-shows. It has a really nice range of programs.
