I kinda have that issue in on line too. I love the Brits, and my non-USA friends I fly with. There are several Britts, and one guy I think he is from Austria? But, sometimes, I have a hard time understanding their accents, even though I assume it is really considered to them that Americans have the accent, lol.. The guy from Austria, also one I flew with a couple times I think was a Chechavokian... I really do enjoy flying with them, and we do have allot of dialog, and allot of times, I just can't understand what he is saying to me even though he is speaking English. I think his native language is German and his English is pretty good, but still sort of broken, and terms he is not sure how to convey to to me. And I even taken German in school and used to speak it (however not fluently). That was 20 + years ago when I served in the USAF over in germany, so I am used to the dialog, but still today over the headset, I get tired and embarrased to keep saying "HUH?"... Not to mention American's accent and how we really do butcher the English language.. hehheh..
