Between her heavily accented Spanish English and their heavily accented Scottish English, she did not even ask where the ladies' toilets were 98% of the time. In the bus, at the airport, she would look at the like a deer in them headlights and point at me. I found it funny because the last time I was there for university ten years ago, I had to use my American bank card and incurred international fees. This time I opened an HSBC account in MX and we ran into some issues with it and when we called the operator spoke Spanish and at one point I did the same to her that she did to me with the English speakers, 'ten, habla con la operadora' and I handed her the phone. 😅🤣🤣🤣

I still think about him sometimes. He was precious. My other Scottish gentleman friend was devastated. Why he was drowning his sorrows in such a way.

If your mothertongue is not English it's somehow easier to deal with different English accents because you're more used to not getting the "right" pronunciation, since many of your encounters with the language are with people from other countries who use English as a second language as well. I experienced a similar thing with my native tongue -German. When I worked in England, my colleagues invited me to a party and we ended up watching a German movie which was set in Bavaria. I'm not Bavarian and the accent they speak can be quite challenging. I really struggled with some of what was said while all of my non-German-but-German-speaking colleagues split their sides laughing at the jokes. I pretended I didn't find the movie very funny but truth be told, I had no clue what was going on.

Indeed, that is definitely true! Some regional accents in the US can be difficult to decipher. I remember taking a trip to Boston, and half of what our tour guide said went over my head. I've also listened to very thick southern accents, and experienced the same thing...And that's not even including regional slang words and differing terminology! Those don't help matter, either...

@@glenncordova3365 In media in general words are enunciated less clearly than they used to be, I find. Not just in Britain but around the world, in my opinion. I learned German at school and I find the dialogue in Werner Von Herzog films from the '70s, for example, much easier to understand than the several German films I have seen which were made this century.

Okay, I can see having trouble understanding Kevin's accent, but how does Lily have any trouble at all understanding Chris's? The difference between an Aussie accent and an American one is like the difference between a lion and a tiger: you still know they're big cats even if you've only seen one before. Whereas Kevin's accent is more like a T-Rex in comparison 😂

See the thing about the US is there are a BUNCH of accents, and honestly, Aussie isn't much off of Midwestern (though my kids about fell out on the floor laughing when they saw a TV show when we visited Cairns talking about herbs with an "H" and "Or-E-gone-O") which is the "standard" for say national news presenters. When in reality, most of the population does NOT speak like that at home. (Even the Midwest draws their short "A"s out in Chicago and St. Louis, but not Indianapolis, which tends to drawl their Os into more of a U). But I've lived all over the US, and a good rule of thumb is that if SNL is making fun of an accent by what you think is "over doing" it's actually toned down..... Trying to get some one from rural New England to converse with a Deep Southerner and you are NOT going to have good luck with that. Esp. if you're trying to plan a meal-- or offer a fizzy NA drink. (For which I have heard the following names: pop, sOduh, soDAH, soda pop, coke ("what kinda coke? I have Pepsi, Sprite, root beer, diet and Dr. Pepper), seltzer, and soft drink.)

I will never forget a night in a Glasgow nightclub. I'm at the bar, in come these two goddesses of women, that looked like Barbie and Ken's favorite daughters. One of the bombshells says to the other in the thickest Glaswegian accent I've ever heard. "Ded ya see tat hoT blok at ta ind o ta baRR". Realizing Barbie is Scottish has totally changed my view of the world.

I've never been to Scotland. Born/raised in Los Angeles. I had no problem understanding any of them in this clip - my mom is British, so I always heard "London" growing up, both from Mom and her mother, when she moved in with us in the 80s. But I've never had a problem understanding strong Scottish or Australian accents. I think it's the musical intonations in each, my ear hooks into them and it's just, yeah, that's what they're saying.
