Ah yeah, as someone who has grown up on Canada's west coast, sometimes I see a video of someone in a certain region of England (for example) and I can barely understand them. It's supposedly the same language, but wowzers, the variation in accent is very broad around the world! I was watching a show where a woman was named "Emma" and I literally 100% thought her name was "Emer" because of the way they were pronouncing her name. I was like "huh, that's an interesting name"! haha
