I fined it funny boy, I grew up in Cambridge and I have no problems understanding da Newfies. Now da French here can be a different ting.
So many of me buddies still live up der in Cambridge. When I moved to T.O. I was always talking about me buddies and everyone there wanted to know who this Buddy was and how long we had been dating. LOL
The first time I went to Newfoundland I was the translater. The EX had no idea what they were saying and I was talking up a storm with the people. It was so funny, he would look at me and say how can you understand them? LOL
After working and living in T.O for 10 years, I can understand most people.
