In general I understand American and Canadian better. British accent is Ok but as sb said before some accents are just impossible to be understood.

I was born & raised and europe so i´d go with the british accent. I can´t even differ Canadian and American accent.
As Jpablo said, it really depends on what you are used to hear. |

Much depends on the speaker. Very clearly spoken English from India or Jamaica is as easy to understand as Oxford or Harvard English.

hear: hearing (used to + noun, in this case a gerund) That's a bit of a truism - and I've never heard very clearly spoken English from either place. Last edited by AngelicaDeAlquezar; January 17, 2013 at 03:13 PM. Reason: Merged back-to-back posts |

There's also the Midwest accent which follows closely to a Boston accents. My mom is from Minnesota and I say some things the way she pronounces it just because its how I heard her say it. For instance "sorry". I would say most in my part of the US would say it with an "aw" sound where as I say it with an "oh" sound. Accents are definitely interesting things though.

Non-native English speaker speaking English.
And if the speaker must be a native English speaker, I prefer RP English. |
