- Tainnor 6y agofrom your perspective you can't just assume that everyone finds the same accents easy or difficult
- loco5niner 6y agoMy perspective is that, for most talks in English, the speaker would want to be understood by native speakers of American English. I do assume (and believe correctly), that the further an accent strays from what you would hear on your standard American news channel, the more difficult it is for the average native speaker of American English to understand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_English https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_English
