@cristinathreepwood1214 I'm in the US. I have lived all over the country and have lived in, or visited, all 50 states. I grew up predominantly in the north, but currently live in the mid Atlantic region, the uppermost part of what's considered the "South". I have heard people from the "deep South" speak, and it can be difficult to understand. If there was some kind of calamity, and parts of the country were cut off from each other, there are places where the English would be indecipherable in a generation or two.

[@tamasmarcuis4455]

The last person was a Scots speaking MP speaking English. Since Scots is a different language the pronunciation is significantly different to English and also Scots is commonly spoken at 150% the speed of standard English. Russian for example is spoken at about 75% as are most SATEM languages. French and English are about the same speed. Germanic languages slightly slower. Celtic languages and places where they were spoken tend to be fast. Northern Italy, Spain, Ireland and Scotland. Welsh seems to have slowed to the same pace as English. Generally even if the same language is being spoken but at a higher pace the listener has problems understanding. Americans tend to speak faster than English people so also tend to have less problems understanding Scottish people speaking standard English. But they are also less familiar with actual Scots pronunciation and words.

My mother was from Northern Ireland. We grew up hearing her and my aunts and grandmother talk. When i was a teenager, there was a wonderful Irish movie about a band called The Commitments. My sister and I saw it in the theater, and it really is an excellent film. What started to happen, was everytime there was a joke or something funny, my sister and I would laugh, and 5 seconds later everyone else did. It kept happening. Then I realized the delay was everyone else taking a little longer to understand what was said. My cousins said the same thing happened to them. It was hysterical.

not gonna lie, as an Australian, there's times I have to turn on the subtitles when watching American movies....

[@goap690]

As an entirely non-english Rest of World resident (russian to be precise) im more into American English. At least for media. Wikipedia says there is same case for USA states as for UK state countries large difference in accents. Im able to hear most of american media english words (i prefer original audio). Im sure whole RoW more into american eng. And there is another case. Sometimes its not language accent. Its just poor speech, require logoped teacher or even therapist. Too fast, too lazy to speaking end of words clearly. If most ppl of some region speak in that way its still unnormal. There is issue in some English natives that they suppose if they natives they dont need to learn how speak English. Question is: how many of such ppl around Commonwealth/Eng-speaking countries and USA? Been russian idk, not sure if it is correct to say most, many or few and where is the line between accent and speech issues.

In the little cop comedy, don't pay attention to the tags. Those are part of a meme joke. In the movie, the first old man has a very old, very rural British accent. The older cop speaks a more modern version of that British accent. And then the final cop speaks a present day version of that accent (or at least that's the original joke). The cop who doesn't understand is from London, not the rural town that the other three are from, so is not used to the old rural accent. I'm American. I cannot understand the oldest man. If I work at it, I can understand the old cop about 50 percent of the time. And of course the modern British accent is what I'm used to from Brits. The meme joke is sort of the game of telephone to make English understandable to "Me" whoever "Me" is.

The Aussie is also slightly hard of hearing. But he was much, much more polite about it than his Tory colleagues even 10-15 years earlier. They drove a Speaker with the same accent - but slower speech - to a literal nervous breakdown by unrelenting mockery of his accent and pretending every single day to not know whether he was even speaking English. The Tory public schoolboys never seemed to understand that they were dissing a few million people by that. But although the Aussie was very courteous - it does make you think: just what qualifies people to be making laws for people who they know so very little about, that even the “standard” version of their English is incomprehensible to them? If you don’t even know how people speak, what on earth makes you think you’d know anything else about where they come from - their economic or social priorities, for example.

First, remember that most people will understand the “standard” dialect you have been taught. Second, just ask people. Folk in the north east are usually more than happy to talk to you if you take an interest in their dialect, especially middle-aged and older people. Don’t just mix with students or other international types: the north east and Liverpool are about best places in England for ordinary strangers to just be friendly and sociable to you. I also come from a place with a “heavy” accent. For foreigners, including Americans, normally it takes about 6-12 weeks of mixing with the locals - and one day it all suddenly clicks. But if you want to speed it up, there are two main things to concentrate on. One is vowel-shift. The way you were taught the Standard pronunciation for simple words, each south-eastern vowel has its steady north-eastern counterpart. And so do some consonants. So just concentrate on common words and work out the corresponding sound: eg the end of stay, way, play. Or car and far. The second issue is dialect words. Standard English or BBC English is quite impoverished. Most areas like the north-east and like Scotland have that vocabulary plus another set. Some words almost replace the “standard” words (like wee for small) but there is additional vocabulary for everyday things like foods, children, ways of saying things are good/bad, ugly/pretty, very/not. Once you pay attention to the main features, and recognise that it’s not random, it’s systematic, you will pick it up easily. Then you too can choose to stay with standard English for formal situations and the local speech for more social situations.

@@jenniferhanses Hmm, in which part do you think that Beresford (the Brit whom the question is directed to) blamed Linden (the Scot)? Because the way I see it, Beresford initially apologized and even blamed his own background being born in NZ, having used to a complete different accents (he said sth along the line of "it must be because of my antipodean background, I didn't catch your question"), and when the second time he still didn't understand, he basically proposed a solution which he thought would help him understand (he said "could you speak more slowly please").

I helped a widowed lady, late at night in a grocery store parking lot. I could tell from the way she was walking around looking dazed something wasn't right. Plus it turned out to be the coldest night that year. I was concerned about her and hyperthermia. Apparently she had fallen inside the store and slightly wet herself too. She was horribly embarrassed about it too. The store manager had pushed her outside, and just left her. He gave her no help. She was a little injured, shaken up, (but not badly), scared and disoriented. She couldn't find her car. So I put her in mine and cranked the heat. I called 911 because she said she was diabetic. The fire trucks showed up in less than 5 minutes. They found her car, called her family which were all instate but 4 hours away, living in another city. She had no family up here on the mountain. The firemen took her vital. Medics came, and helped her take her insulin. Then they took her home. They were SO kind, respectful and compassionate throughout. These were big, husky men, dressed in heavy winter gear. They looked like bears, all big guys; and yet they were patient and gentle. I didn't speak with the medics except to say she had fallen, was slightly wet and very cold despite being in my car. Their behavior made me tear up. They assured me she was going to be fine and that I could go home now. I was so glad because even dressed in boots, wool sweaters, hat and full length down coat I was freezing! I think I gave her my gloves too as her hands were like ice. She was visibly shivering despite the heater blasting. Bad scenario, happy ending. All it took was a half hour of my time and calling emergency services. My hat is off to those incredible firemen and fast responding medics.

I'm "Antipodean" from New Zealand and I understood every word of the last clip. His accent is mild compared to some of them.

[@Dolly-oh1mt]

where was the last video from?

[@moj1338]

English is my second language and I pretty much understand every accent. I am always surprised when first language English speakers say they don't understand each other! How? Try understanding the concept. I understood the last guy because I understood the jest of what he was talking about, disability accessibility and what the government is doing about it.

[@levchenkodarya]

I got what the last guy was saying, but because he was talking so fast, I needed some time after that to process the words...

[@rodrigoa.6727]

between three guys talking to each other the American was the easiest, I'm living in Ireland for the last 3 years and english is not my first language, so you can imagine my first year here 😅😅

As Russian, speaking fluent English and Spanish, I could actually understand everything. Obama and Trump make me laugh still, so true 😆

[@MuizAjala]

Obama and Trump moment got me lmao😂😂 Also, as a Nigerian, I understood the Scottish PM surprisingly at his first statement maybe due to the interest I have in the Scottish accent

I was a guide in Paris during the 90's I bring a full minivan of americans to Giverny (witch is the house museum of Claude Monet) welcomed every couple, one pair per one pair into the van... introducing the ones on board to the ones climbing in...While on the highway after a good 40 minutes of explanations about Paris-the 19th century-the discovery in optics and the 1948 revolution one of the american asked if I could speak English...... I said "no I'm not qualified to do so" and carried on my explanations about the impressionists until she landed on our planet. That happened for real.

English second language + 3 more languages basic level. Spent 8 years in US, literally spoke with millions from every state,never issues...until moving to Ireland. But mostly with UK folks , surprisingly.

[@anyaharris5617]

I love all English accents. Obviously i still struggle with understanding people from Glasgow, but if they speak slowly i probably would get 30%. My favourite accents is Scouser's - they haven't even said a word yet, and I am already laughing :))) 😂😂😂

As an aussie i understood everything except the destroyer of hedges

The roughest accent I first didn't understand at all was that of Dave Lister in the first seasons of Red Dwarf.

[@donprincoify]

As a man from Ghana (a former British colony) and now living in America, english has become both my second and third languages. I fluently speak in fluent American english with an American accent but find myself writing in British english . Do it make any sense?

It's not hilarious. It's just so, so sad that many Americans relate to that ignorant cretin. Our "educational system" on full, embarrassing display.

[@FreakyRufus]

I’m American and I understood almost every word that guy in parliament was saying. The jackass acting like he couldn’t understand a word was deplorable and not believable.

[@monamohammad3494]

It is not just him, most of English people would opt for pretending to understand if they dislike a speaker who has a hint of an accent. It is part of a common passive aggressive racism.

[@chrish4976]

Which "bloke" do you believe is speaking "American English"? All of the actors are English, and none of them are trying to do an American accent. They are either speaking "BBC English" or speaking English with an English west-country accent. The only people in this video speaking English with an American accent are Obama and Trump!!

[@sublimetulips6771]

@@chrish4976 the one with the title under him that read American English. 🤨

[@chrish4976]

@@sublimetulips6771 Ok. Weird. It does not even remotely sound American. I have no idea who is responsible for the subtitle labelling it as American English. But I confirm that none of them is speaking American English, and Nick Frost (the person under whom that subtitle appears) is speaking with an accent from the south-west of England :)

[@mikkitoro8933]

It's an accent joke. The American accent and the typical British accent are easier to understand compared to the others.

[@danthemankhan]

@@chrish4976 Perhaps the joke is that SW England English is relatively easy to understand to Americans, and thus might as well be American.
