       I heard Allie's voice via skype group. I loved her voice and
       sent a friend request.
       See? I'm creepy too.

       I usually have less problem with understanding non-native than
       native English speakers. I often struggle to understand the
       Englishmen and I'm never sure if I understand them properly.
       It's much easier with Scotsmen (at least from Edinburgh).
       I try to speak Spanish while I'm in Spain, but sometimes people
       reply me in English. And here I met two types of e.g. hotel
       receptionists. Some of them speak very clearly but others...
       Sometimes I start thinking how to get back to Spanish.
       I agree with Grzybek that most of Polish people speak very
       characteristic version of English. And that Polish accent is
       different in all parts of Poland. In the place where I live the
       accent is not melodic one and it's probably because of history
       (I put a clue about my location so you can Google this
       triangle).
       Once I attended a conference where most of lecturers were
       English speaking native speakers of German. The German English
       was very nice and "deutlich"  :P to me, but there was a man from
       Linz (Upper Austria) whom I understood only by combining my
       English and German comprehension. For example he was a fan of
       the word "however" which he pronounced the way German person
       would read something like "häuwer" with "r" pronounced similarly
       to loud "a".
