I don’t usually catch the last few words of the sentence when native speaker talks
for example I can catch phrases or first few word like “Do you think” or “I don’t like” but I find it very difficult to understand the sentences and words following up to those phrase since most of the native speaker doesn’t pronounce clearly. What kind of practice i can do to be able to make out that? I’m afraid that I couldn’t think of any good examples for this but hopefully yall get what i want to say.

Translation advice ( German - English)
I am looking for the English translation of the German word "Endlichkeit". In my research so far I have found finitude, finiteness, finity? and transience. But I am looking for the philosophical translation. Everything can and will come to an end, in both a positive and negative sense. Perhaps someone can help me or even suggest another, more appropriate word.
What's the difference between parliament and congress?
What's the difference between parliament and congress? Is it just a matter of different terminology used depending on the country, or is there a systemic difference? I don't know which term I should use to refer to my country's legislative branch.

Do I have strong accent?
& can u guys guess where I am from? One friend during uni mentioned that I have the most accent out of the friend group & ever since that I can't stop being extra conscious of the way I sound (and myself being socially awkward person doesnt help at all..) I know I mispronounce words at times but is it hard to understand in general? https://voca.ro/1d8SGlMq88OM
