British Accent

is it really that hard to understand? Ive realised alot of other people from other countries …even americans have difficulty understanding our English. why? :konfused:

even some foreign students at uni cant sometimes understand us and we have to repeat wot we said many times. the one who has the BIGGEST problem is my chinese lecturer…he can never understand my friend…even if she repeats 5/6 times and I then have to translate for her :halo: he understands me quicker than he understands her :rotfl:

and then there is also a phd student…who’s from India. me and friend were working together so she called him over for some help with some work…she started explaining to him what she was stuck on …and guess wot he says to her ? “im sorry I dont understand ur English” :rotfl: u shouldve seen the look on her face when he said that…she just zipped her mouth after that…and then I had to translate once again :rotfl:

but even with my English, they sometimes have a problem with it… :bummer: then I have to repeat everything slower :bummer:
