I have a friend here who grew up here and knows the local dialect. He told me to not even try to learn it – that it was too strange and basically "unlearnable". I'm going to take his advice and just focus on hochdeutsch. The Berlin accent of which you speak (the working class of the former East) does sound a little ugly to tell you the truth.
