I think if you are accustomed to being around people who tend to fully enunciate it’s more difficult to understand people who don’t. With time you can adjust your ears to “fill in the blanks” for the omitted or muffled sounds. I fully understood the first guy and enough of the second two to get the gist of what they were saying.

Harry's speech sounds really interesting and specifical, but I really like it and understand quite well.

Even though they don't said it , i will always say the "Hi , i'm Christina from US 🇺🇸 - HI i'm Lauren from the UK 🇬🇧" 😂

You prompted me to look online, and I found that some broadcasters got in trouble for making fun of his speech impediment, but I can't figure out what this impediment is. I'm from Texas, and I only missed a couple of his words. I took that for the difference in accent. I'm surprised that these two ladies couldn't understand him. Can you explain to me what his impediment is? I'd be interested to know. The one I had trouble with was Raheed Sterling. I could pick up maybe 40% of what he said. Once I tune my ears, I can usually pick up what most Brits are saying. I can't understand really thick accents from the west country and from northern England--Yorkshire, Geordie. I can often tune in on even thick Scouse, but it takes a little effort and close attention, and sometimes I fail. And there are accents in the U.S. that are difficult, too. At university, I had a roommate from far northeast Tennessee in Appalachia, and for the first two weeks, he had to repeat everything he said so I could understand him. I'm sure he found it irritating, but it took a full two weeks before I could understand him properly.

The confusion of Harry Maguire's accent was quite apt: He is a Yorkshire lad who has played in Manchester for a fair few years now, so that will have slightly softened his Yorkshire accent and moved it slightly towards a Manc accent. Of course, the Yorkshire pushes through the most, but the fact @Laurenade was unsure which to choose between Yorkshire and Manchester makes perfect sense.

Im convinced that the American girl was deaf as well 😂

Being a spurs fan made me better at listening than American lol

Ooh my days... 😆.. even the native britons can't catch the words... I am Asian living in Oxford.. and I really find hard time listening to my fellow coworkers who are britons

Aussie here, first guy was actually not too difficult for me to understand, he wasn't the clearest with his speech but I still picked up most of what he was saying. I found that especially interesting since you all made similar points about the way he speaks to how Australians speak where there's more brevity between the words and they kinda meld a little as a result so maybe that has something to do with my relative ease at picking it up. Also, I do find it interesting that despite how big of a country Australia is there's not really any regional accents, its more a spectrum of Broad-General-Cultivated which is pretty much influenced by socio-cultural and/or economic background and level of exposure to media I suppose, with a little bit of ethnic mixing to provide a pretty decent outlier from that model. Like maybe there will be a greater diversity of ethnic mixing in Sydney while Melbourne will have more cultivated accents and most of Western Australia will be quite broad but by and large the accents are the same, just a bit of a different spread in each place.

I would love to see them react to Kevin Bridges

I'm from Paraguay and i've been studying Brit English for a long time, like 4 years. It's weird to me see an american getting confused hearing another person who speaks the same language.

Yet again, the English are passed of as British because their nation formed on Said island. When in reality the term British was already in use for a separate and distinct culture on Said island. This culture is now known as Welsh in the English language. British when applied to England and Scotland just means a geographical representation of the people of England and Scotland. Historically and Culturally, British only applied to Wales.

I don't understand how Americans struggle so much with accents that's not from America. It's just English. I know Americans are not very used to hearing accents and other shit outside of America, but I don't even have English as my first language and I understand it very easily. Sure some accents are difficult, like some very old English accents, or some parts in Scotland. But these were VERY simple to understand.
