Stay around them long enough, you will learn it.
Or ask them to speak it to you.  That's what we did with my sis in law, actually that's what we did with majority of our friends.

Correction for Lesson #1:

"How una dey?" = How are you folks/guys/girls/peeps doing?     *at least thats what i meant  Wink

"una" - mostly used to refer to more than one person
"dey" - in this context, refers to present condition; physical, mental, whatever. . . . .
