English speaking room

thus learned a little bit of English..

For me it seems perfect English! I like your grammar. You read much, don't you? For me it's but natural: If one wants to master a foriegn language they should read as much as possible and speak too. Living in the English speaking environment it's easier than in Russia for example as you don't have to care about creating special situations (this is what I have always done teaching students) to master the language.

people are talking in "yorkshire English"

It's the same in my country. You see many years ago we came to Lipetsk from the Far East (Vladivostok, some time in Siberia) and I had difficulties in getting local people. They spoke Russian but it was different. Special I'd say. Not my colleague at school and then at the university of course. I think you'll cope with the problem in no time at all.
