Hi,
This is an awkward angle for the right hander to receive the left hander serve.
The main thing is to get a lot of experience in facing this serve. Try to get a few left handers to practice against. The more you face it the easier it will get.
Try to get close to the ball because it is curling away from you. I often think about getting my nose close to the ball.

Judging the Length of a Serve
A really important skill in table tennis is to be able to judge if a serve will be short or long. If it's short you won't be able to take a full swing at the ball and hence will need to use either a push or a flick to return the ball. However, if it is coming long then you can make a topspin attack. In this video we give you some tips to help you judge the length of the serve and hopefully this makes you a better returner.
