Here is a good one for you. I never had any problem understanding my father's heavily accented English as a child. I really did not even hear the accent. But when I took German in college (he made me speak Spanish before that once we live in the desert Southwest and it was more useful) I found that my father became almost impossible to understand when speaking English. I have had the same experience with Spanish speakers. I usually prefer to hear them in Spanish than English as it is easier to understand them. But I always enjoy speaking Spanish to Laurie most of all!
