CONTEST : WHICH ENGLISH LANGUAGE SKILL IS THE MOST DIFFICULT FOR YOU? | Nomination from @sampu | Listening English is most difficult for me

Among the four basis skills for learning English - Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing - the most difficult skill for me is Listening and understanding.

I belong to a country where English is still used often due to 190 years to British rule. However, I'm from a bengali family and my mother tongue is bengali. In school, we have been taught English since the sixth standard.

Thanks to my teachers, I got efficiency in reading and writing. Further, as I speak English not very fluently, the listeners can understand my english. But the problem happens with listening. I am unable to follow English when spoken very fast or with foreign accents. Specially the American accent is like nightmare for me.

As I work in an IT company, my job role includes attending client calls. It seems very challenging for me to understand and respond there.

To overcome the challenge, my manager has suggested me to watch English news channels like CNN and BBC and understand the news. I'm following that advice and it is helping me indeed.

As per his advice, I'm also reading the Game of Thrones books to increase my vocabulary.
