There's no book, no you tube video, no tutorial on the planet that will help. The best way is through immersion. I bought a book, online lessons, watched every video and listened to every .wav file from here to Timbuktu and discovered that like with most languages, the best way to learn is to just jump in and listen to it. As a matter of fact, I had a phone conversation today with a friend of a friend and didn't understand half of what he said to me. LoL Lord knows what I agreed to.

Good luck to ya with that. I still struggle but I promise - it'll get better. I agree with Ecotours - except I wouldn't use my finger and poke him, I'd take my hand and smack him on the forehead.
