Gotta be honest my accent (the "Indian accent") has one benefit , every word is super enunciated... I find it an easier accent to understand compared to other accents with lesser enunciations.

[I asked this same question about a year ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/ums4jk/do_people_with_heavy_accents_from_the_same/). There are two or three responses, if you're interested. Example: > Two people that learn english ... in the same prefecture somewhere will probably understand each other’s bad English fairly well.

I actually find it more difficult. Not in the sense that I don't understand them, but because their accent distracts my attention from what they're saying. I subconsciously notice the marked pronunciation and it makes it a bit more difficult to focus. The easiest for me is the "standard" English that one would know from TV, probably US / UK versions.

English isn’t my first language but I’ve been speaking it since I was 3-4, and I had a prominent accent when I still lived in my home country. Since I’ve moved to a different country where the majority of people speak English (I moved at 11, I think, and now I’m 16), I’ve sort of grown accustomed to the way of speaking here and I kinda have an American-ish accent. Now I do English literature in higher level and now have a higher level of proficiency in English than in my native language. I’ve just realized that this does not answer your question, but I’ve typed this much out so I’m just gonna post

I would prefer to talk with someone with the same accent because the pronunciation of certain words differ everywhere. Also I keep watching movies with subtitles because of the terrible low audio and incredibly loud music that makes you jump everytime. But it is useful. Watch videos of people around the world too.

I’m too fluent in English to notice this, but I’ve noticed that this is indeed the case with languages where I’m not fluent but speak/understand some. Overall I feel like the more you hear a certain accent, the easier it is for you to understand, and if you are learning a foreign languge in your own country, you will hear that country’s accent a lot from the people you study with and possibly also your teacher. Also noticed once, that the person whose German I understood best was a my German friend’s 2-year-old daughter. Her speech was simple enough I guess.

Partial answer: I'm not a native En speaker, but I don't have an accent. I'm quite bilingual. I really enjoy talking to other people and figuring out their accents, even if it's difficult. I just like the challenge and I'm not afraid to politely ask someone to repeat themselves. Edit: the only exception is work. I need to get shit done, not decrypt someone's speech patterns. If I know I have an important conversation coming up, I'll try and handle it in text.

I've never had the opportunity to talk to a native english speaker out loud, so accents as a communication mean very little to me. What I can say, is that some english accents for example "british", sometimes makes it difficult for me to understand it.

For an easy, fun, humorous read: Larklight by Philip Reeve. Steampunk spiders in space during the Victorian era. It’s my “reset book” for when I need to get back into reading after a hiatus. Obviously, can’t go dystopian without Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The books are definitely better than the movies, much richer in details and certain individuals’ motivations make more sense.

If you like space and fiction, and an short and easy to read book you'll love Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. It's a fantastic work and a bit old, when space traveling was still pure fiction. It's not a novel, but a set of stories that have nothing and everything to do with each other. If you end up reading it, tell me if you liked it!

One sci-fi book/series I HIGHLY recommend is Adrian Tchaikovsky's "Children of Time." In short, it's about humanity looking for a new planet to call home, but there's some big surprises waiting for them once they find it. Another good series that's considered "hard sci-fi" is called "The Three Body Problem" by Cixin Liu. It tackles the Fermi Paradox theory in great detail and is quite unique.

Great narrator for the audiobook version (the author himself, Neil deGrasse Tyson), very approachable, fascinating topic, and sounds like it's in an area you'd be interested in. You'll also know after like the first chapter if you're going to like it or not. I've listened to it over and over and feel like I learn something cool each time.

I highly suggest Lockwood and Co by Jonathon Stroud! It's set in an alternate universe in London where there is an epidemic of ghosts. The thing is, only kids can see and hear the ghosts, so they are tasked to fight and get rid of them. (They also fight evil humans as well, not just ghosts) I found it to be very fun and easy to read. The world-building is amazing, and the characters are really well-written.

I personally told him I understand what he is trying to portray. But I think your using the wrong word. Rape is NEVER okay. It shouldn’t be justified to TAKE something from someone. I’m glad I’m not the only one who had this same though process. I was flabbergasted! I was okay, if that’s the argument you want to use. What about women who get raped or sexually assaulted and don’t reveal themselves in a provocative manner? I was told I’m trying to twist the subject. Which I wasn’t, cause it’s still rape. Rape is wrong. There’s no right way to “rape” someone.

Rape is a heinous act with no justification. Nothing the victim says or does is a justification in any way, shape, or form. And before anyone makes an argument about victims putting themselves in high-risk situations in the first place, just stop. It wouldn't be "high-risk" if people would quit thinking they're entitled to sex. Rape is the sole fault of the rapist.

It’s never the victims fault if someone else rapes them. Anyone who says otherwise is delusional. However, nude cleaning services are gonna increase the chance of a sexual assault taking place. Idk why they would do nude cleaning services in the first place especially as a woman but still, it wouldn’t be the woman’s fault if she was assaulted.

There is no justification for rape! But anyone advertising this type of service is really putting herself in danger. I mean you are setting yourself to be ALONE with a client with a high chance of being a creep. Let's compare this to a stripper, if you go in a club there is security to protect the performers, if a creep try something a very big bouncer will make him regret his action in a matter of seconds! You cannot do something dangerous and not expect any risk.

If you want the mathematics, you're reading the wrong book. Try Hawking's colleague Roger Penrose's The Road To Reality, which is packed full of equations etc. You'd need to be at least undergraduate level at Maths though, to understand it. I read all the parts without them, and had to skip the Maths , too difficult for me. So consequently I didn't really 'get' what he was saying. If you have college-level mathematical knowledge, you'll be fine.
