    I feel the same way as you, I used to spend two years in Singapore, and now I travel to Singapore and Malaysia, where people don't have a good English accent. Especially the Indians. Because of business needs, although I communicate more with Chinese, I often need to communicate with Indians, Lao Mei, etc., and most of my English is returned to university teachers.

    It's a bit difficult to communicate. At that time, I came up with a way to watch English TV and listen to 983 English radio every day when I had free time. But the effect is not fast enough, ruthlessly found a local work in the local Lao Mei customer, often visited, annoyed he will, but fortunately, this Lao Mei estimated that although the heart may be very annoying, but still have the patience to communicate with me, really don't understand the stroke, some words do not understand or forgot, after their own take out their mobile phone to check, two months later Lao Mei was surprised that my English listening progress is not small.

    Later, the spoken language of the Hindu also mastered some rules, that is, the words that the Hindu could not pronounce accurately turned out to be the same as all the Hindos, which may be the wrong pronunciation of the Indian unity. After listening to it, you will know what the Indians are talking about. Don't be afraid to make mistakes.

    The English of the Chinese in Singapore is only a drop in the word. It's the same way some of us learned English when we were kids. Pronounce it on it with your own accent.

    For example, watermelonSome people write"My beauty".Remember to be relatively strong.

    It is recommended that you often communicate with Lao Mei, since you have arrived in Singapore, the opportunity is rare, and no one will recognize you anyway, and you are not afraid. If you talk boldly, you will definitely gain something, and then if you want to develop overseas, this is very important. English is indeed the universal language.

    It is recommended that you listen to the English radio every morning, and watch more American dramas in the evening. And when foreigners are communicating with each other, you can also listen more and try to translate what they are saying. The only way to improve your English skills is to listen more and speak more.

    This is a universal problem, don't be afraid to be ashamed. Watch American dramas, watch movies, watch channel news asia. There is also the need to abandon Chinese thinking, do not translate sentence by sentence, and use English thinking to quickly go smoothly, at least that's how I learned.

    Watch more English movies and TV series and absorb the latest expressions. If you are in a hurry to immigrate and find a job, then prepare quickly. If you are not in a hurry, you can take your time, my younger brother was sent to school in the United States by my mother last year, and he was 14 years old and had not graduated from junior high school, and he did not study well at school.

    Not to mention listening and speaking English, it's simply listening to heavenly books. After graduating from the local language school, I went to their middle school, with a fat Chinese kid in the class. A little black man had a good relationship, and for the first three months they basically communicated with a fat Chinese kid as a translator.

    He used pinyin when he played alone with the little black man. In about half a year, he has gradually gained more friends, and there is no problem in communicating, but talking to the locals will make people hear that they are newly moved, (with an accent) the same as our dialect!

    Well, I don't know what standard hearing you mean exactly, so I'll talk about TOEFL listening.

    First, you have to figure out which of the following problems you have (1) I really can't hear anything clearly, and I feel like I'm deaf (2) I hear clearly, but I don't understand, I don't know what it means, especially when the sentences are long (3) I seem to understand every sentence, but my brain can't keep up with it (4) I understand not only sentences, but a large paragraph, but I can't take notes, and my brain can't remember it completely.

    moreover, what you need to practice is to memorize the words while learning the text, and listening to the audio at the same time, here it is not to say that the time is completely at the same time, but it is best to memorize the words of a subject in one day, such as geology, and then find the geological passages in the listening to listen, and if you can't listen to it, you can watch the text and keep pausing.

    In conclusions, keep practicing every day and keep sharpening your ears.

    In order to practice listening, the first thing is to choose the appropriate speech material. What kind of speech material is considered "appropriate"? In my opinion, there are four things to pay attention to:

    First, the selected speech materials must be authentic and authentic; In other words, the sound you hear must come from someone who is a native English speaker. Listening training is like a military exercise, the closer the scene is to the actual battle, the better the training effect. At the same time, insisting on listening to pure accents and authentic expressions will also have a positive impact on your pronunciation and speaking.

    Second, the selected audio material should be as all-encompassing as possible, covering different fields and topics, with both formal language and daily conversation, and it is absolutely not just about listening to news English. Thirdly, the difficulty of the selected speech material should be within your ability, and when you have converted these words into words, you should:

First of all, I want to tell you here that you should take a certain amount of time (generally 2-3 hours) to practice listening every day while practicing English speaking and recitation, and the time can be allocated in this way, 30% of the time is placed in intensive listening, you can use dictation, which has the best effect, or you can use the original text of the listening materials to carefully understand and break through word by word. 70% of the time for extensive listening, you can listen to some songs, radio, movies and television, original soundbooks as you like.
