    A mime show.

    I have a hard time understanding ANY accent (including American).  It is not enjoyable to attend a function when you can't understand what the heck is being said.

      Lol, good answer.

    I am pretty good with foreign accents, especially when I can see them speaking.  I have more difficulty with some foreign accents over the telephone, let's say.

      Thank you. In particular, what are some procedures or functions or events or activities that fall under your realm of enjoyment when they are being conducted by people who have those stated foreign accents?

    When I was still working it was calling an IT help desk and trying to understand what they were telling me. Good times.

    Foreign accents need you to pay more attention to the person to figure them out; so much better when they are easy on the eye.

    Since I work in a Multi Lingual organization almost everyone who speaks, speaks with an accent. 

    Now I am always soft on Irish accents,  started with my Ex.  Chinese and Slavic  (think Russian) I always find harsh.  It is always interesting to deal with Algerians, Tunisians, and Moroccans with their Latin inspired Arabic.  Think the sexist are the Moroccan women with Spanish influenced Arabic.  The scariest are the Saudi Women who went to Oxford, Cambridge or St. Andrews - British English with perfect Arabic

    There’s a big difference between the words “sexist” and “sexiest”.
