Ask them to slow down and speak clearly.

 

This is exactly what any native English speaker will do. You can do this too! :)

No worries. Sometimes native english speakers can't even understand each other when it comes to different accents.

Hello ,

To Understand what native speaker said when they talk quickly , you need to improve your listening skills , and to do that you need to listen As much as you can to english conversation ( I always watch tv series ) . beside studying How they reduce and link words together ....etc. you can check this youtube channel it's very helpfull ( Rachel's English : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL27A5D7DE7D02373A )

 

I'm not a native speaker or fluent, but I found that this is a good way to improve my English , Hope that it will help you too .

 

Best regards
