For those who are fans of the British version of The Office, can you even understand what in the world they're saying? I tried to watch it several times and had to turn subtitles on, which ruins humor and comedic timing. I'm typically very good at adjusting to accents: my GF didn't learn English until she was 18, a lot of my coworkers are Asian or Nordic, I worked in Chinese restaurants, and have a lot of foreign born friends, so accents are nothing new. Still, I cannot decipher the English on that show as well as I can with Chinese and Japanese people who've been speaking English for 5 years.
