Long long ago when we lived in Hawaii I was real good at Pidgin. I could speak like the locals and easily understand them. When we moved from Hawaii to Montgomery Alabama I really struggled trying to understand the thick southern accent.
My first day at school I made a ZERO on a spelling test because the teacher said the word and we were supposed to write it down. I could not understand her. When my parents were called in because the school thought I was learning disabled they could not understand the teacher very well. My mom even told the teacher that it would help if she could speak clearly. The principal repeated the same test for me and I passed.
