Country:  | My two cents (and it may piss some of you off) : I think English (herm... from England, not English-Canadians) are hard to understand.
I mean, they have a nice accent and I like watching British movies being broadcasted here on CBC. But "real" English isn't like in British TV shows or movies. On TV, they ar-ti-cu-la-te. But in real life, they sounds like if they had some kind of jaw desease... They doesn't articulate at all !
Most of the time, I'll understand any American/Canadian or even Australian talking to me. But with English... I understand approximately 40% to 60% of them (depending on the area they are from).
As you know, I work in a touristic area. So I meet a lot of English-speaking persons. But it happened three or four times in the past that I just gave up with British. I couldn't understand them !
Once a girl (who was approximately 15) told me : "You know, you're hard to understand... You have a kind of American accent mixed with a French one."
I thought to myself : "Did you heard your classmates ? Some of them talk like if they had a hot potato in their mouth." But I couldn't say that... I was working. | |

Country: | There's so many different accents and dialects in Britain it's hard for British people to understand other British people a lot of the time. While in Germany, with Chris, it was quite easy to understand each other. Although, I did notice that they had a problem understanding my girlfriend at times.
You can't go around saying "English people are hard to understand," when there's so many different accents in England. I agree that a lot of English accents are terrible, and some I can't understand. But there's accents and dialects in Canada, USA and Australia that are hard to understand too.
And, lanc is right, it's impossible for the English to speaking wrong. We're English, we invented the language.

But there's accents and dialects in Canada, USA and Australia that are hard to understand too. | I met a lot of Americans and Canadians (plus one Australian) and I never had any problem understanding them.
But I also met a lot of British (a lot of English high schools plan trips here to ski during winter (generally, they are around 1,500 peoples every years)) and I can say that we are far from what we hear on TV. I don't have any problem with their accent, I have a problem with the way most of them articulate.
I saw a good exemple of it on the British army site... I can't link it directly, but go to the following link, find Private Hart and click on him. You'll see a short movie of him. I couldn't understand a single word of what he said. Infantry Microsite
However, if you click on the guy next to him (Private O'Malley) you'll see that this one is much easier to understand.
Ah, and by the way, there is only four types of English accents for an average French-Canadian like me : English, Scottish, American and Australian. I can't distinguish a guy from Mancester from an other one from Wales only by hearing their accent. | |
