In fact in order of my ability to speak/listen, I would put my order as 1) American English and it's derivatives, 2) Spanish, and 3) British English esp. Scotland and up there. British English is my third language.

Do British people have the same problem with us? Mort, do you follow us?
Pretty much, yes. Being married to one of you helps a lot, but I think a lot of it is us getting a lot more of your pop culture than you get of ours.

If it makes you feel any better there are some local accents I struggle with. Chesterfield was a mining town, and the areas that were completely full of miners developed a weird accent / dialect that was occasionally impenetrable to me, and I lived in the same place as them.

I seem to recall either "Trainspotting" or "Twin Town" actually ran in America with subtitles all the way through. Am I remembering right?
not surprised about trainspotting. I watched about 5 minutes before turning them on.

My family is from east Texas and I grew up in Louisiana. I'll take an English accent any day over some older guys from those parts of the country. Just impossible to understand.

Trainspotting I saw like 3X in the theater, and I'm 100% sure it didn't run with subtitles. I didn't fully understand Begbie even after the 3rd time.

"It wa [expletive]' obvious that [expletive] wis gonnae [expletive] some [expletive]" is one of the all-time great movie lines from Begbie
