    To me as a foreigner I think your accent (RP) is the clearest to understand and Scottish is the hardest to understand. I think that Scottish woman was talking Americanised that is why English students understood her. The standard American is easier to copy than the British accents, but I think the British accent is more beautiful.

    I am from the the south of England, and as a native I have found some Scottish, Irish accents very hard to understand . When in new Zealand , some I could only understand about 10%. I teach English in China were most people have much more exposure to American accents compared to British. I tell my students and their parents it good to hear as many as you can.

    Oh nooo... it’s totally different in real life! I’ve lived in lots of countries and the Scottish + Irish accents would be one of the most difficult to comprehend. Indian English is also a big big challenge :) Aussie version could be quite hard to understand as well (especially if they speak fast); the easiest would be American English I guess.

      Your idea of "real life" is absolute nonsense, extremely ignorant and very insulting. I'm Scottish and from the same city as Karen Gillan. Karen Gillan is from Inverness, not Edinburgh. This is how we sound in Inverness. End of story. Shame on Lucy stating ignorantly that it was an Edinburgh accent.

      It is just the colonial western education
      In algeria for example they learn british English and metropolitan french(like most past respective colonies)
      The british accent is however quite fancy
      So most past colonies learn british English on writing ✍
      However when it comes to oral it is tricky
      Most teachers can't do the generic british accent(Pronunciations)
      And some can do it but it sounds funny infront of kids or it can even sound arrogant in some perspective
      For me
      The british English is very fancy&classy
      The Australian English is fancy however it is not as fancy as the british english
      The american English is much more like a "normal" English
      And canadian English does seem like a dialect but it is subtle

    For me I find the RP English accent to be the easiest to understand. The further North you go in the UK the harder it gets for me. I recall seeing a TV series about James Harriot, a veterinarian who practiced somewhere in the North of England (the show was based on the books written by James, i.e. "All Creatures Great and Small"). He seemed to have a "average" Southern England accent but the farmers he would visit spoke a type of English that was almost impossible to understand!
    By the by, New York has different accents in each borough, Queens, the Bronx, Brooklyn, etc. so Cyndi Lauper spoke only one type of NY accent. Thanks for your great videos!!

    When you lived in Scotland for a few months every accent seems easier than any Scottish accent 😂 I'm from Germany originally
    PS: I mean actual hard Scottish accents because that lovely lady almost speaks American English with a Scottish touch. Talking aberdonian or Scottish Isles Accents here😁

    The South African and Edinbourgh ladies had the mildest accents i have ever heard from those places. They were definitely modifying their pronunciations for a wide audience.

      Lucy! Correct this video! Karen Gillan is from Inverness, NOT Edinburgh. That's an Inverness accent! It's NOT Americanised. How insulting. Clearly, you're not a linguist and unfamiliar with the accents of the UK.

    I am from USA in the Midwest. I could understand all of these examples. You should research a Southern California accent. That is a bit regional as they have their own phrases. I thought Scottish was supposed to be very difficult. Not in this example anyway. Fun video. Thank you

    I can't believe someone with a Scottish accent was voted the easiest to understand! I think you must've found the easiest to understand person in all of Scotland, since I usually find Scottish accents to be the most difficult to understand of all British isles accents. Generally to me, the farther north you go the harder it is, and Scotland is all the way north!

      I'm from Southern California and I find that just about the hardest accent to understand is the Scottish Glaswegian accent--which may be more of a dialect than merely an accent.

    Lucy, the R sound in Indian accent is different because of a similar letter in Hindi alphabet which heavily influences the 'R', not only R but almost every Hindi alphabet influences our English accent.

  • @dukestuff

    Indian style of English tend to blend the "r's" with the "L" in words. An example: Roller coaster may sound like rlowler coasterl. The occasional "roll" of the r sound (similar when used in Spanish...but not quite) is a result of adding a stronger breath when the tongue is positioned for making the "L" sound - but with its tip resting further towards the throat. Spanish "r's actually push the tongue in the "D" position. Realistically, it's impossible to roll the consonant "r" unless you mastered gargling!

    I'm from Melbourne Australia, and I find Chris Hemsworth hard to understand because he has a deep voice, speaks quickly and doesn't enunciate clearly. I don't think he has a Melbourne accent as such; we have quite a range of Aussie accents here and there's not really a typical Melbourne one. Also, he did say "new", not "noo"; but perhaps not as precisely as you would, so maybe you didn't pick it up.
