[quote author="barclaycon"]Dialect is always going to be a problem wherever you go.
There are still areas in England where I struggle to not only understand, but interpret, what is said.
When I first did some work in Italy I was in Naples.
I said that I would try to learn some Italian, but was told that the local language wasn't Italian but Napolitan !
Even on Italian TV they sometimes put up sub-titles when there is a report from there.[/quote]
It reminds me of the James Brown documentary that was on UK television a few years ago, where at James Browns own request they added subtitles to his speech.
