I have watched many American movies and I might have been used to the pronunciation and speed. Actually, I listend to BBC news for a while when I was in college. I did it for preparing my English Test. You know, I can't get my diploma if I fail my English Test. Honestly, I could understand what the news talked about. But it was very difficult for me to understand British locals' accent.

Wan,

The northern Chinese seldom understand Cantonese (guangdong/kwatung hua) or Hokkien (Fujian or Minnan hua). In London, I can't really understand Cockney accent. Wan

But she can't understand what the locals say. She is very frustrated. She studies standard American English in China. That's why she is unfamiliar with the accent in Northern Ireland.

I listened South Koreans speak English on TV. The pronunciation is strange.
