        I think he is from the Far East, that does make it difficult. The R's and L's are freely interchangable (Get a Chinese man to say Fritillaria Meleagris and watch him explode!). Also the trochaic rhythm of far eastern language can get mashed with the oxytonic stresses and if you add in an ART (Australian Rising Terminator) they have terrible time deducing the words. Nothing to be done, they have a tonal language, stress, intonation, chronemic variation and tone terracing are intrinsic to the way they speak.

        Actually I’m from Europe. The problem here is being dyslectic. one of the worse cases they saw. I’m somewhat surprised my English is at the level it is. Seeing that my native language (Dutch) becomes somewhat unreadable if I don't spell check it and rewrite it 5 times. They taught me to just type what I hear, because if I try to apply the grammar rules you get words that no one can understand.

            Well, even written correctly, Dutch simply looks like being full of mistakes. ;P To help you, Firefox has a built-in dictionary.
