    Americans have trouble with any accent that isn't the blandest, nails on chalkboard accent.

    Once had one ask me if I was speaking English when I spoke to him (for context I am Irish, the north bit)

      I mean if you never leave the US (easy to do, it's gigantic and travel is expensive/people are poor), it's kinda understandable that you'd struggle with accents because you rarely hear any, let alone other languages. I know americans that have trouble with english accents lmao
