I can actually understand anyone speak English in these accents, unless the Cockney-fellow is using Cockney rhyming slang. lol. Although if I was to use a number of Scots-English words, I'm sure I could confuse you. lol

Hi.
I didn’t know there were so many kinds of English in England.
Then, I wouldn’t be able to communicate with the people, even if I learned English.
How different between Cockney and Standard English?
I admit that Japan has the same trouble, and many people around Tokyo don’t understand the language in the East-north part of Japan.
Recently I heard one of them speak in TV. He said “12”. It’s “jyuhni” in Japanese, but he said “zuhnu”.
