Now add accents to the mix, and the problem becomes ten times worse. I always feel so horrible asking my foreign coworkers to repeat themselves because my brain just refuses to pick up what they're saying. Oftentimes I get it completely wrong, or I just give up, smile and nod, and hope they weren't asking me anything important. I already have trouble picking up on what people are saying the first time as is, even clear native English speakers...
