Me too its a skill I need to develop cos it really bothers some people when you ask them to repeat again and again

My hearing is not so good, especially higher pitches (woman’s voices) so it is a little more difficult for me. I do wear a head set instead of speakers which helps a bit.

Accents don’t bother me. I guess because I’ve heard so many different people talk online and on Youtube, etc.

I understand most accents unless they’re really thick.
If someone has a thick accent, it makes me feel like they aren’t really trying to make themselves understood.

I have a Scandinavian accent, but I’ve been told I sound Finnish or German because I grew up in a place with a more monotone way of speaking, as opposed to the southern Norwegians and Swedes who sing when they talk.

plenty of linguists actually consider there to be a language known as ‘scots’ which is very close to english but its own language. it just sounds like a really really thick scottish accent to the point of sounding only partially like its english

I have a reguler American accent but I can also do a German accent effortlessly too cause I’m German, and i can do a swiss/bavarian accent easily too haha. It’s like singing while talking like someone else mentioned! :grin:
