You forgot to give a link to the show you're talking about.

You don't want a sandwich, do you?

We've gone to such effort.... (We've) just been totally ignored.

Thank you.

Understanding the English accents in the video is a bit of a challenge for this American. See transcriptions above.

I know that the most common reasons why we (non-natives) fail to figure out what is said are items we haven't known so far and just blending the sounds and inability to feel the boundaries between words. It's perfectly proved with the example of "to such an effort". I suggested it might have been an unfamiliar word and even looked up in a dictionary. But in fact most people speak simple on daily bases.
I really appreciate all your help.

Thank you for your corrections. I'm sorry that my mistakes led to misunderstanding of what I meant. I'll try again.

In most cases it's not an insufficient vocabulary that prevents me from getting aware of what I hear but pronunciation. In terms of "such effort" I know every word in this group, however the consonant assimilation at word boundaries makes them to have a different pronunciation from that they have said by themselves. I can hear -dj- sound in between and this confuses me.
So I guess people either fail to understand spoken English because they haven't come across a word before or they can't distinguish separate words in a cluster. And this second reason is of my current interest.

Grammar may also play a role in why non-natives have such a hard time understanding spoken English. I didn't fix the whole passage but as you can see, you made quite a few grammatical mistakes in such short sentences. I believe as you improve your grammar skills, no doubt you will understand spoken English much better.
