    Ah jesus.

    I've been speaking Irish for 20 years and I forgot how to spell it

    I said (or meant to say) "Do you speak Irish"

    Well, not a lot of difference in the meaning, if someone speaks it, theyll understand it but my grammar is terrible, I wasnt able to speak the language for 3 - 4 years when i left school because no one i knew spoke it, so forgive me..

    Southern accents I have no problem understanding, but people with southern accents who talk really really fast... Oh dear. Normally talking fast is fine cause I do it too but whoa! And it sounds so weird xD I love it.

    The Drunk Irish Villager accent is the only one that really gets me struggling.

    I had trouble with the whole Nebraskan accent (or lack,therof) when I first got here, but Ive adapted over the years.

    Try as I might, I can never understand Russains.

    I have trouble with the New Zealand accent. I have a close friend who comes from NZ and everytime she says 'six' it's takes me a moment to realise she didn't say 'sex'. Stuff like that.

    Other than that, accent are fairly easy for me to understand. I know, though, some of my friends have had trouble understanding my accent at times (Resha).
