iice:

Most of the time i can understand. . .other times it gets thick and i can only pick out words here and there.  Anyway i kinda like their accent

mazamaza:

@busybody20,

busybody20:

I hope you speak like them on your next trip to naija 

naijas go ask if u sure say na uk u dey come from

I dey stick to pidgin ooo.

Siena:

Pretty normal to me, even when they get really excited, or angry, and the accent gets thicker, I can still understand them perfectly.

@scotish accent

well, the worst of all UK accents! Very funny and weird! Need to hear those OAP talking, oh boy, you think they are speaking another language.

me likes the bristolian accent! West country accent is the best of them all, while London is very dry and local.

oi! chappy! you got mee cuppa hot with mee toastee?

JeSoul:

LOL . . . I visited London for the first time last yr. It came after a few weeks in non-speaking english countries so I was happy to finally be able to communicate with people . . . good Lawd!!! I could barely understand most of the accents we came across. Maybe I'm biased, [/b]but I think the american accent is the easiest to understand . . . uhmm except for those with the southern twang 

Yes u are biased . . kidding, yea some London accent could be tricky especially the [b]Cockney Accent

justwise:

Yes u are biased . . kidding, yea some London accent could be tricky especially the Cockney Accent, u really have to listen long and hard b4 you could pick up, Liverpool/Everton accent is another hard one, listen to Steven Gerard or wayne rooney speak, u hardly understand some of the things they say.

JeSoul:

Lol. My guy that one is beyond listening hard oh lol. We were ordering lunch in this restaurant in the famed oxford st area, we must've asked the waiter the repeat at least 4 times. We gave up and just nodded to anything he asked after that. Gosh. If you ask me, it was definitely easier negotiating taxi rates in the middle of ancient Corinth in greece you darn brits! open your mouths and pronounce when you talk now lol

justwise:


, Americans speak through the nose , London is a multi-cultural city,the waiter in that restaurant could be Asian or Eastern European, some barely speak a word of English. Americans actually love British accent

JeSoul:

Na lie! He was a full fledged brit, inside out, top down, complete with all the stereotypical facial/body features of una. Oga, na una they talk thru nose pass anybody else on the planet . American accent is easy to understand now, which american movie have you ever watched that you didn't understand? And don't even get me started on you folks driving on the wrong side of the road . . . that was just about the freakiest thing I had ever seen  crossing the street almost became an olympic event as everything was opposite and required brain activity lol. Una self, too much drama 

justwise:

calm down calm down!!!! which one be wrong side of the run now? , typical Americans they can't cope without their system, you would have got used to things if u had stayed a little bit longer in London

JeSoul:

  you berra believe it . . . chanting *U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! . . . * lol.

Nah seriously, you guys drive on the wrong side of the road, it really threw me off. At least you guys had the foresight to write by many crosswalks "look left" or "look right" for poor tourists like me (here's a snapshot I took). Stayed longer? I don't think I can ever get used to those tight roads with reversed driving lol.

tunnytox:

I can't stand Scotish accent! but if you think Scotish accent is difficult wait till you listen to Northern Irish accent! almost impossible to understand surprisingly I have not problem understanding their brothers in the South (Dublin).

JeSoul:

The scottish accent has got to be one of the most 'un-sexiest' accents ever in the history of mankind. Yuck! I'll take a chinese or japanese accent long before a scottish one.

justwise:

My brother in-law was just like u when he visited here, he complained about almost everything, roads not big enough, our rooms not big enough, he wants bigger burger, we don't drive bigger cars, i was like. . .oh well. . what do i expect from somebody coming from a country that gave us Sarah Palin and Donald Trump

nrd_geek:

While the Scottish accent may be one of the most 'unsexiest' around, it happens to sound quite funny (that if you understand what they are saying). I bet they'll make good comics
