Being a newbie, both on here and in the whole Philippine concept, I have only chatted to, I will say for ease my girl, on the phone a couple of times. Normally the line is so bad I can't hear anything above the odd word, but today it was relatively clear and she still said that she couldn't understand me. I don't think I have a particularly strong accent, but maybe I was talking to fast - I will try slowing down next time.
