I'm sorry my accent has been so confusing. You're not alone, "around 35% of those students from ESL countries indicated accent as the biggest factor in their listening comprehension" [1]
I found this website for you to use! It's called Live Transcribe. It'll turn what I say into words for you to read at your own pace
I'll give it a try. Thank you for trying to help me
