Learn to speak Kansai-ben? haha, that's a new one.
I would say that the only way for you to really learn it is to move to Kansai and speak it everyday with the locals. I don't see how else it can be "learned". It's like asking somebody how to speak like a southerner. You just can't learn it off a website or a book.

Actually, there are more than a few resources that can help you learn Kansai-ben. Here are a couple good starting places:
1. Check out the Wikipedia ''kansai-ben'' page. They also have a bunch of links at the end of the page.
2. My current favorite is a book called ''Colloquial Kansai Japanese: The Dialects and Culture of the Kansai Region''
(Tuttle Language Library)

I live in Kansai, and dang, just reading this book a couple weeks ago has helped me understand maybe 50% more of what is being said to me and around me. Highly recommended.
Just search on Amazon or one of those sites and you will find a lot of other titles too.
Good luck!
