UK is a mistake. I still cant watch "Trainspotting" without Polish lector because actors talk as if they didnt have tongues.

But for some reason, i dont need subtitles to watch American movies. I understand 100% of what actors say even if they use nigger slang like vid-rel

The only British dialect i understand in 100% is BBC lectors. Cant English be banned in the UK and replaced by US-American to make everybodys lives easier?

It's the Scottish accent. Glaswegian I think.
Honestly I remember struggling with it in primary school but I learnt to understand it through watching rab c nesbit.

If you didn't understand train spotting you've got no chance understanding this.

Watching movies "with a lector" is the hallmark of being from a soviet shithole. It should be casus belli enough for Russia to repossess you for.

It's a lower/working class Scottish accent specific to a particular region, and keep in mind that many of the characters are junkies. I'm not surprised you can't understand what the characters are saying it if you're not a native English speaker. Hell, it's even hard for English speakers not from Scotland to understand. I have to switch to received pronunciation when talking to non-Scottish people because my normal accent a bumbfuck mutant drawl.

The author of the book Trainspotting, Irvine Welsh, actually writes in a phonetic manner to convey the way the characters speak and it makes his work somehwat inaccessible to ESLs or people who aren't every literate.

Scotland is less than 10% of the UK population and within Scotland there are tons of dialects and accents, some far more intelligible than others.
