The words don't magically come to you but you will pick up pronunciation and the way people talk. I used to listen to CNBC talking heads babbling away and I think it's a good way to pick up pronunciation for "bigger" words. Of course you need to be at least intermediate for this to be really useful to you.
Also watching movies/tv shows with french subtitles helps. Don't use english subtitles. Start easy, cartoons, shows for kids and whatnot.

I agree. I found it useful as well. Movies also expose you to figures of speech that may not make sense on their own, but make sense in certain contexts.
