Me when I was watching eng language films to learn the language. The hardest part was to let the subs go.
UK English is easy for me to go without subs. American English though, bunch of mumblers.
As an American, I mumble mumble mumble…
As a hard of hearing American, I had to drag a hearing person everywhere during the pandemic because of this.
about 2/3 of any english accents sound like a different language if I don't FOCUS.
For me is the opposite, northern accents from UK are like the hard mode.
Why let them go? English is my native language and I always prefer subtitles when available.
Won't learn to hear the oral language this way.
Oh, if you still feel like you have more to learn that makes sense!
I was at the level where I perfectly understood written language cause of the time spent in the internets and IT. Could speak too. But when someone spoken a bit faster or with less clarity it was all coming in as gibberish and I frequently had to ask to repeat several times.
Some people are hard to understand even for native speakers!
