British accent and subtitles

Can you understand a man from Glasgow?

 

Huh? I can't understand your accent, sorry.

 

I have no idea..i can only think it may have been a person from a county in the UK with a strong accent?

 

Love this:

 

I've seen this before too. I also think it's pretty stupid, but in their defense, I've also seen some things with "English" speakers that really should have had subtitles Also, Americans are notoriously bad at understanding accents.

 

He he..love it...very endearing the scott accent.

 

The brothers from Oasis need subtitles.

 

Are they?..the different british accents are much harder to understand than say, me understanding a strong Texan accent or NYC accent...

 

Just love these:



Does contain expletives.

 

I always had trouble understanding Brits.

 

I hate foreign films. That includes Trainspotting.

So do I. and the subtitles are always in small fonts.

 

In college, I had a Math Prof from Scotland who, along with being a great teacher, had an amazing accent. I took any and every class with him that I could, mostly just to hear him talk lol. There are only about 2 classes that he teaches that I didn't take, and thats mostly because I wouldn't have my degree yet if I had

 

One summer my family hosted four English exchange students, all from different areas of England. Three of the guys I never had any issue talking with. However, there was one dude, a Geordie, that was completely incomprehensible. He was possibly the nicest, most polite dude of the bunch, but I constantly had to ask him to slow down and repeat what he was saying since I could rarely understand the guy. Nice guy though.

 

When they learn to speak American we'll stop subtitling them.

 

It annoys me, actually, when they subtitle for people who are speaking English.

Oh, and Geordie accent is hard to understand sometimes. But it's also awesome.

 

You know what's funny though? I was watching a bit of the last "The Ultimate Fighter" show where they had British and American fighters face off. They subtitled all the British fighters and I thought, "that's dumb, I understand everything they're saying".

And yet I'd find myself reading the subtitles rather than listening. Some sort of weird conditioned response I guess.
