Wow! So you actually understand what he said to you? Good for you!
3 months of intensive course in "Cork English". This reminds me of my college years, many graduate assistants come from India. I developed a specialty in "Indian accents comprehesion" after getting more than my fair share of Indian graduate assistants teaching classes.

Do you mean you will be going to Cork, Ireland to work there?
If yes, get ready for their extremely hard to understand accents. I had to speak with people from Dublin, Ireland before. Dublin accents are OK, not that hard to understand them. But then, there were a few Cork people working in Dublin. Their accents I totally did not get at all, even after I asked them to repeat a few times. I have to ask the Dublin people to do some "translation".
I am not exaggerating. Those Dublin folks know Cork accents are unique. But I am not sure why they sound so different when they speak English. Their native tongue is Gaelic, however, it experiences ups and downs over history.
