Answer 1

This is not an easy thing to do because there are hundreds of different dialect of English in the United States today. However, it may difficult to do, but it is not impossible. When you listening to English speaking people, it is best to concentrate on main words. Listen to the entire conversation and see if you can guess what they are saying by choosing some of the main works from the conversation. If this does not work, you may ask the speaker to speak more slowly so that you can understand them more easily. However, even though they may be speaking slow, when you listen try to pick out the noun and the verb of each sentence. If you can determine the noun and the verb in each sentence, you should be able to easily understand the general meaning of what is being explained.
