SOS - Serious problems with understanding London accent , fast small talks

Hello

I have serios problems understanding London traditional (cockney , half cockney) , regional accents, especially in small talks. Sometimes I dodnt understand even one single word from the entire speach.

Please tell me where I can buy/find audio materials with small talks, accent.

I also need an native English speaker with accent to have conversation lessons three times a week ($$). Ready to pay.

Please help - I have a risk to lose my job!

Hello Alex, Are you based in London? I'm sure someone could suggest a good ESL-school where you could take conversation lessons. The ultimate way of learning to understand a new accent is to spend as much time as possible listening to people with that particular accent.
