How can I learn "listening skills" (diary) These days I learn English with watching youtube, kinds like "study blog" or "daily lives in university". However I can't catch up with their speed of talking. I think it's because there are so many omissions of accent of words in sentences. Maybe I have to try to speak properly using right accent to speak as native speakers and get what they are talking about. Is there anything good way to acquire nice accent? I hope not the way which requires a lot amount of money.

How can I learn "listening skills" (diary)

These days I learn English by watching youtube. Subjects like "study blog" or "daily lives in a university".
However I can't catch up with their fast talking. I think it's because the enunciation is not great. Maybe I have to try to speak with poor enunciation to speak as native speakers and get what they are talking about. Is there any good way to acquire this talent? I hope not a way which requires a lot amount of money.

I am taking a guess here and guessing that you mean poor enunciation, which means to not finish the full sound of the words. Many native speakers begin to speak this way over time and it can make it difficult when learning to understand them.

I recommend trying to find speakers with great enunciation to listen to, professional speakers.

Thank you for your advices, Valeriy. I found 101english.com. I'll focus on getting a whole sentence when listening from now on, thank you.

Different accents can't make you so unhelpful in listening, you have to catch up a whole sentence.

Of course, there are lots of ways to improve your listening skills, for example, 101english.com, or simple English lessons (only in English, not your native language). You can find it on youtube also.
