Can anyone answer this question:

"

I am looking for any form of training, particularly in the form of computer programs, in the understanding of non-standard English and heavy accents. I am a native English speaker. I intend to become a foreign-correspondent journalist, but am plagued with a difficulty in understanding anyone with a strong accent when they speak English. This poses obvious problems in my field. I appreciate any assistance you can offer in allowing me to understand English with an accent (particularly French, Indian, Arabic, and Chinese accents). Thank you!

THANKS.
