TOPIC: Would I Be Able To Understand Your Accents?

Would I Be Able To Understand Your Accents? 5 years, 2 months ago #1

Obviously there's no question that YOU would be able to understand my accent -- after all, you watch American TV shows and movies with no problem.  But I saw Trainspotting and I doubt if I could understand any of you

I can speak many languages Dan.....I'll translate for ya.

1. English.
2. Broad Yorkshire (a sub catagory of English)
2. Can-eh-dian....various dialects eh?
3. American.
4. Profanity (after all...mechanics invented this language)
5. Doublespeak (my wife tells me I speak that really well, maybe I should be a politician eh!)
6. Double double speak (after all that's what my wife speaks and I can understand her sometimes)

Everyone on here speaks fluent bullshit so you'll have no trouble at all.

Trainspotting was mostly spoken with Scottish accents so it's no wonder that you didn't understand what was being said!
Hello and thanks for having me.

I thought Trainspotting was representative of the "British" accent  >

No,not really.
    I'm a Welshman with a Brummie accent living in a predominantly Leicester accent area. If you were to call on me tomorrow for a cup of tea and a chat I assure you that you wouldn't have the slightest difficulty understanding me.
