Well, right dude. I quite understand The Monty Python not bad (She's a witch !...)but I understand better English people than people from the states (remember a meeting with people from the South of the States ... I thought I was on Mars). May be that's due to the fact that I am European.. Nevertheless, as many French, I have a lot of difficulty with very strong accents (Scottish accent, for example)
On the other side, I remember not understanding some of my uncles living in rural part of France
. I also remember wishing a French-speaking guy from immigration Canada (I used to live in Montreal) to switch back from French to English because I understood better his English than his French.
Well, we are quite far from this post original purpose... Sorry.
