Default 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 have started to zone out when Tate speaks.
