I've always thought that most people have a hard time understanding people who talk fast.
Yesterday, however, I had a fast talker ask me a question, and I could only make out about one word in his sentence. He had to repeat himself five times before I could understand his words!
Everyone else around me, however, seemed to understand him after his first repeat.
Does anyone else ever have this problem? I have any easier time understanding people with heavy accents, because at least they usually talk slowly, than I do native English-speaking fast talkers.
