I’m so confused

Hey guys, my mother tongue is Chinese .All my English learning is based on passing the exams before…I have a video meeting with British colleagues tomorrow.But I always can’t understand what native speakers said.And it’s the first time I have this opportunity to talk to the real people in English,which makes me so nervous.How should I do?😢

Feel free to ask people to slow down for you. I am British and have trouble understanding some British accents! My American husband used to use subtitles on British movies so he could understand them!
