Scottish is actually much easier to understand, for me, than general northern English accents are. xD Maybe because it's similar to Northern Irish, which I'm fluent in? xD

After seeing "The Departed", I've realized that I can't understand people from Boston.

Scottish accents are pretty much another language. Boyo.

I can't understand thick Indian or Asian accents very well. It makes work an ordeal sometimes.

A thick cornish accent is pretty much the hardest thing to understand i've ever heard.

I've never really had any trouble with accents. Fast talking Pennsylvanians can be tough to understand, and so can people from southern Louisiana who speak with Creole infusions. Carribean people, too. That's it.

I can understand (and impersonate) any accent. :bigsmile:

Oh and if you guys think Scottish is bad, Geordie's are worse. In a nice way :love:

D'ya like dags?

Winnit i'the nood.

Well, assuming they're not using heavy local slang, I can understand any accent except one. East coast Newfoundland. My father is from there and I can't understand a word he says.

Almost any non-American accent sounds like another language to me. When watching a movie like Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels or Trainspotting the first five minutes sound like absolute gibberish to me until I get used to the accent.

I'm a slightly better with Austrialian accents, but not by much.

In the States I occasionally struggle with Deep Southern accents of non-urbanites.

I can't understand strong Indian accents. And some very strong British/Scottish, whatever.

Also, extremely strong Caribbean Patois is also totally impossible to comprehend.

Deep Southern accents, definitely. They're such a constrast to the Noo Yoikah Queens accent that I have. xD

Give me a few moments and I can catch on to just about any variation of the English language.

Just an afterthought--Australians have the sexiest accent. Ever.
