[@sergioalonso3118]

I worked in the US for a number of years on an international team comprising Japanese, Russian, Korean, Italian, French, German, Austrian, Swedish, Spanish, and American scientists. Funny fact, we could easily understand everyone else despite our very strong and different accents and frequent grammatical errors, but we often could not understand the American fellows speaking proper English. This is frequently misportrayed in movies, where the English-speaker main characters speak to foreign characters who, despite their very poor and broken English, seem to understand them without any problem. I think that for anyone with a low/intermediate level in a foreign language, it is much easier to get understood than to understand native speakers. I bet it's much easier for an English speaker to understand another fellow English speaker speaking broken Spanish than to understand a conversation between two Spaniards.

Hello, i am your new suscriber ❤ Love your teaching materials.. To the point!

[@andreamarino85]

Hi Adam, all in all these abbreviations are understandable; think that abroad I met people who spoke the dialect in the street and it was almost impossible to understand them! Let's say that a lot is up to the intelligence of the native speakers; for example, if I speak to a foreign person in my native language, I avoid using too much slang as it is likely that the interlocutor will not be able to understand me.

[@vincentjoserivasferrer8732]

The "dunno" phrase surprised to me, even when is a natural sound. I'been enjoyed your work cos,
always is great and, this video was a bit cas, what isn't usual in your ones but legit like always in them.
