View Full Version : Most of the time I cannot understand a word they're saying

It's their accents, that Irish girl, I don't think I've understood a single word she's said.

The others. I'm not sure what accents they're speaking, or indeed if they're speaking any I know. :p

Anyone else have the same problem???

There was a supposed rift a couple of days ago, which I didn't know what it was about. Couldn't make out what they were saying. :joker::shocked::shocked:

When Nancy and Jenny are taking to each other it's hard.

I think my brain just switches off automatically for some of the others voices, they are probably clear and easy to understand, but the nasal tone of a couple of them like Sam and Elsa just makes my ears wander elsewhere so I miss what they are saying.

Jenny was hard at first but I’ve got used to it now most of the time. The rest I’m fine with, and I love Teja’s accent.

Yeah and I watch the recording from the night before, and there's no subtitle options. :(

Jenny is hard to understand…she has a strong accent.

No i get them all but it pains me to hear Teja say fink instead of think. There is no reason at all for kids to not pronounce TH properly as it should be taught in primary school. It was taught in Scotland from P1.

It makes people sound common and thick, and its so easy to correct when young

Even the Irish guy on last night said he struggles with Jenny’s accent

That ‘fing’ and ‘fawt’ does my head in

There was an English teacher ( teacher of English ) who did it all the time !!

Crazy how he even got the job

True enough

There are two smallish , adjoining towns near us in the NW who have completely different ways of speaking

I have only struggled with Nancy's accent in this series.

The only thing I've failed to understand was a single sentence from Tate an episode or two back. But as it was Tate, I didn't particularly care to go back and catch it.

I think he's most difficult to understand ,but I think he's a bad talker all round.

I have started to zone out when Tate speaks.

Everything that comes out of Nancys gob is I’m Italian, that would be me constantly saying.. oh I’m Scottish, I think we get the point.

We aren’t that hard to understand lol, Jenny was a struggle for me at the start but l got used to her accent

It depends on her mood or state of mind I think

When she’s calm and collected I can understand her perfectly but if she’s annoyed or excitable and talking faster she’s very difficult to comprehend

Just an observation

I don't struggle to understand them. I love a regional accent, me, and I particularly love the Northern Irish accent.

it's not like every sentence they utter is filled with profound observation. I think if you only understand trans, italian, bald, tractor, and flag, you have pretty much absorbed everything you need to know from the first week

…I’ll trade you four Italian tokens for a tractor and a flag…do we have a trade…?…

..EDIT: …also remember that you’ll be able to use your tractor token a limitless amount of times each day…tractors and flags are not so versatile and recurring…
