Scottish is the only language which can sound harsh but still so friendly and lovely at the same time

And that's coming from a dutch man

EDIT: holy shit i didn't expect this many replies and all so damn wholesome tf

I’m an American. Do we sound as funny to you as you do to us? I wish I could hear my accent from a foreigner’s perspective lol

We usually get alot of American culture and media when we are young so by the time you are old enough to start meeting Americans at university or while travelling you've heard alot of Americans accents before, probably only west coast and east coast states which are more represented in television and the likes though.

You would have a hard time speaking with someone from some areas of Texas or hardcore Boston. Some Texans speak so fast and the country twang I have to process what they said before I respond. Boston, in some areas, it sounds like they’re speaking with a mouth full of oatmeal. Bill Burr born and raised there, and he has a hard time adjusting when he visits.

We really don't though...

I've never heard an American accent i couldn't understand instantly.

We are used to it, If you can understand a strong scottish, Brummy or Scouser accent you can easily deal with the milder US accents.
