When there are too many accent in one conversation

When there are multiple ppl in a conference call which projects all sorts of accent, my hearing got impaired. All i hear was noise. I could not comprehen a single word coming out. 15 mins into the conference call that i finally managed to catched some key words. But failed to capture any proper sentences.

So when its time to speak, we didn't managed to speak in a Sporean accent. What came out of the mouth was a mixture of the aussie, viet, HKer, indian accent. Its was gross and awful. We looked at each other and laughed muting the speaker phones.

I thought i was the only one not being able to catch a single thing out of the 1 hour plus conference call. But i was wrong. Even the long timers had a hard time fishing out the words. So the conference wasn't a very pleasant session after all.

Moral of story, never have conference call with multiple ppl with all projecting different accent in a upheated conversation. But the fact is that my ears will still be punish tomorrow cos i still have another session to go.
