…but yeah, I don’t have any difficulty in understanding Jenny butbI do understand that some people will because of the speed she speaks…mind you, I think that she might slow down quite a bit with Quaver deprivation…

I can understand Jenny perfectly fine.

Her accent helps me separate her from the other two blondes.

I can understand her ok when she’s in the diary room but when she’s talking in a group situation she kinda talks faster and I can’t make out a word she’s saying

She’s far more ‘curvy’ than the other two …

I have this problem with spoken Japanese sometimes, especially where I'm not speaking it daily (no reason to). I read it everyday, but it takes time for my brain to switch back over for listening and put resources into spoken. So much so I've started to read it out loud instinctively to help keep that part sharp. However, when I am around someone who understands the language fluently enough, once the Japanese side of my brain kicks in, it feels like a switch over and then it's really easy. When my friend came to the US and stayed with us, most of the time we spoke in Japanese (poor husband) and it was just easier to communicate that way naturally... but when a non-native speaker asks me to say something, I have more trouble because I guess I run on adrenaline and my brain is like "whhhhy" and so it refuses to dedicate precious resources to purposeless vanity ... but put something in my hand someone is asking me if I can translate it and I can read it out loud perfectly.

So my test around that block would be to put something in that language that needs translating in her hand and ask her to read out loud and explain it. It opens up that part of the brain that knows that language faster in my experience. (makes sense if the whole point of language is to communicate/interpret things)

She doesn't appear to be that much different weight wise to the other two imo.

There must be something wrong with my eyes.

I like her friendship with Farmer Cameron too.

I'm not necessarily bothered either way about her in other dynamics though.
