I still have difficulties in understanding spoken English

There are two major issues in this problem: vocabulary and accent. I am stil in process of accumulating the vocabulary, and I believe I am getting better now. The accent is a hard problem. Comparing to whites, balcks have stronger accents. Besides this, they use a lot of slangs and speak very fast. It is a hard time if you listen to a guy speaks so weird. The solution for this is simple: listen to radios and  TVs. I believe that practice makes perfect, and I will be used to the southern accent after long time practicing. One evidence is that I am better in understanding spoken English now than the period I came to U.S. last year.
