I wouldn't be so sure. I insist, it depends entirely on the accent you have gotten used to when learning and the one you have been more in contact with.

That may be true for you because you are German so you are used to people speaking English with a German accent. I am way more used to hearing English spoken with a Spanish accent so to me it is easier to understand a Spanish person speaking English than a German. It's only logical.

If she studied English in London then I suppose her accent must be closer to British than American, yeah? Then how come you say the good thing about her is she is easy to understand when talking when she probably has a British accent, which is the one you have a hard time understanding?
