How to learn English on the internet
Internet gives us a lot of opportunities to practise your English. Apart from the on line newspapers and dictionaries, you can find many web pages on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and so on.

Listening
http://www.elllo.org/ : very intersting, with a lot of material to practise
http://www.vaughantelevision.com/ : with different levels. There is also a radio station but I think it's much more interesting on tv.

Songs
As you probably know, the best way to find the lyrics of a song is using Google and introducing the first line between quotation marks; e.g. “Yesterday, all my troubles seem so far away”. The other possibility is to join the title with the author with the symbol + in between, e.g. Yesterday+The Beatles. Nevertheless, here you have some sites to go through:
