Hey guys...most of the people here on mylot are native English speakers..few of them are non English speakers...being a non-native English speaker I often find British English as tough to understand... America English sounds good but some pronunciation are hard and it sounds difficult..for you which accent is understandable easily

Most of my English-speaking friends have English or Scottish accents so I usually find British English easier to understand. What I've heard of American English when I was in the US wasn't difficult to understand though, but some of the more local types I met on New Zealand were difficult to understand. Had to ask my English friend to translate.
