Same question I asked the Australian
Do you have a hard time understanding the accents of English speaking people from other countries? If so what ones?
New Zealand is an accent I have only heard on TV - Flight of the Conchords, and The Almighty Johnsons (which I watch with subtitles, lol).0 -
Do you get annoyed when Australia steals your assets as their own? (food, actors etc)3

I find the hardest accents to understand are Irish and Welsh. Had some hilarious times overseas. Conversely, I have Irish friends who find me hard to understand which I think is partly because NZers speak quite fast.0 -

Yes, that is my problem I think, New Zealanders talk too fast! Plus I have never met anyone from there.
The hardest accents for me to understand are South African, Scottish, and New Zealand (I do love all of those accents tho!). If they all spoke slowly I think I might get it a bit better.0 -
