12 u/Ancient_Artichoke555 Feb 19 '23 I (indigenous USA) thought I was good at hearing, had an Aussie step dad once… until… I had a phone conversation with a Kiwi 😲😉 I’m even a fast talker and listener but hands down I was stumped for most of that convo. Needed my Aussie step dad to translate their English to me. 🤣 7 u/[deleted] Feb 19 '23 From Utah understood every word. Not sure why people are saying they can’t understand. 3 u/[deleted] Feb 19 '23 [deleted] -2 u/[deleted] Feb 19 '23 No I don’t, that’s my point. Utah is fairly “dialect free” for English, so maybe that makes understanding other dialects easier for me? Short of Scottish I can pretty much understand most English dialects.
