In the beginig, the first month it was quite hard for me understand the scottish accent and slang. Right now maybe I have some influence of that georgious accent. I know the slang pretty well.

Even having engligh as a first language it was sometime difficult to understand the very heavy Glaswegian accent. Especially for the foreign students for non english countries.
