Different pronounciations makes me confused
Hi, Today I would like to write about one of my problems about making conversation conversing in English.
Although I'm studying a MA course and worked at a game company before entering the school, I still feel that I cannot catch the words that native speakers chatting are saying.
I guess the reason why I feel that like this is that I always learnt English with by proper ways (e.g. using textbooks and going to learning from school). My English skill is has a lack of knowledge of slang and spoken words in casual situations.
Another Other reason is that the Japanese education system is based on American English. For me, a British woman's voice is quite hard to hear because of they speak faster and their accent is different from what I learnt.
I can understand a BBC narrator's speaking, but in the case of normal chatting, my understanding is horrible!
On the contrary, I feel that British older people and a male's voice is are easy to catch. their voice.
Of course the Japanese accent is another big problem, it is hard to learn the accent of British English (It's far different and I only used Japanese just 2 years ago!) Not sure what this means
I hope I can solve the issues during I my stay in the UK :<

I can understand BBC announcers, but in the case of normal chatting, my understanding is horrible!
By contrast, I feel older British people and male voices are easy to catch.
Of course Japanese accent is another big problem to learn accent of British English (It's far different and I only used Japanese just 2 years ago!)
