    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).

    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.
