There was a discussion here a long time ago on accent. Yes. Some accents are difficult to decipher and in that contest I created this video specially for myLotters.I had this friend from the UK and I found it difficult to understand her as she spoke with an accent. Is it difficult for others to follow you?

I can pretty much understand people of all accents when speaking to them just sometimes when the accent is very heavy and they speak very fast, Thanks for sharing the video, Is it you on the video? I can understand very well and the flowers are pretty.

Sometimes it's like there are two different English languages.

So do I, a number of accents sometimes make me not understand what they are saying.

Malaysian English is also different. Of course you can find someone who speak English with UK accent here, but there are English with Malay accent, English with Chinese accent or English with Indian accent.

The clarity depends on the accent.

I must admit that I can understand French people when they speak English.

Actually, no. If I pay attention I can understand most people. And, I'm all Americian. I suppose if I break into my southern slang, I can be hard to understand. Like I might say Winda, instead of 'Window'. Or Fillin' station' instead of 'gas station. However, when I type I use the correct usage of words.
