为什么懂英语还是听不清外国人口语，感觉外国人说的太模糊了。

因为我们学的英语和一般英美国家的人日常使用的英语有区别。一般母语使用者语速都比较快，而且各个地方还有不同的口音，这样就造成了理解障碍，就好象每天看新闻联播练习中文的外国人去国内不同的地方肯定也是一头雾水，因为我们也不会像新闻联播那样说话。

不知楼主有没有学过新概念英语第二册，里面的Lesson 25就是讲的这样一个故事：
I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big, black and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter. I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well. The porter, however, could not understand me. I repeated my question several times and at last he understood. he answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly. 'I am a foreigner,' I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him.My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and I looked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it. 'You'll soon learn English!' he said. I wonder. In England, each person speaks a different language. The English understand each other, but I don't understand them! Do they speak English?

学英语除了阅读之外还是需要和真正的母语使用者多交流，这样才能迅速掌握口语，国内的老师不管教书多么厉害，但也只是应试，在实际应用有很多的缺陷。
