The cool thing about english, and as demonstrated beautifully by this video, is that English is spoken by so many different people worldwide that any native english speaker has spoken with many people with extremely varying and different accents. So, feel free to speak with a heavy accent, its normal and english speakers see it as normal.

Taking into account that Kazakhstan is officially bilingual too, it is already 4 languages (plus dialects), different cultures that i honored to getting know.

I, as an English French speaker from Canada, moved to Tanzania a few years ago when finishing up high school. It's a very easy language to learn. I'm not gonna lie! I took about 3 years to get to intermediate level by doing lessons once a week and doing duolingo! You should really learn! Noun classes are the only really difficult part up to what I know. It's mostly about building up suffixes and prefixes on either end of a verb. And it's like playing freestyle with language cause kind of everything is right and everything is wrong. It's fun and has a rhythm! I really recommend it giving it a shot on duolingo.

This is amazing. There are too many English accents around the world to take in. Most non-native speakers still speak it with a heavy accent coming from their native language, but it's still okay to many native English speakers. There are also countless different and unfamiliar things out there in the world awaiting me. By the way, I wouldn't like to leave my home country for the first time soon because I feel more comfortable watching these awesome videos at home. Thanks for uploading this eye-catching one, Dan. 😊

As Ukrainian who consumed absurd ammounts of content (both in British accents and American ones, additionally to few quirky ones), I can safely say that I understand my thick-accented compatriots (or anyone with particular types of heavy accents) way less than natives.

@@PUARockstar ну якщо ти добре говориш мовою якоюсь ти знаєш як правильно вимовляти слова то так коли хтось каже "зис" можеш не зрозуміти одразу що він має на увазі "this" але ти напевно розумієш англійську з українським акцентом. взагалі навіть неправильна граматика, порядок слів тощо можуть бути зрозумілі тому що можна здогадатися що хтось переклав надто буквально з української на англійську

Britain and Ireland both have many different regional accents.

Scotland and Wales also have several regional accents unique to the rest of britain, as well as both having endemic languages separate from English.
