I can't understand Canadian French either, but that's probably because I haven't ever studied French. My language capacity is rather limited, but I can say "Omelette du Fromage" like a pro. Dexter teaches wondrous things.
What's fun is going into Houston and listening to the Chinese in Walmart GET MAD AT EACH OTHER. With a tonal language you just. YOU CAN'T SOUND MENACING. It's like, you're singing or something. It's funny XD

Overall I find dialects to be a fun element of learning a language. Granted, they can become a pain now and then (Old English is broken into so many dialects that it's hard to create a single grammar to cover them, for example), but on the main they're not so bad. The only ones I've encountered that I can't stand are 1337 and Ebonics, both of which do little more than destroy the English language...

Depends of WHICH dialect I guess. Some are sexy, some are cute, some sound snoby while other just sound plain annoying. I absolutely adore the Scottish accent of English, it sounds so friendly. The Norwegian accent when they speak Swedish is so cute that I just want to superglomp the person speaking it whee

Okay. Bear with me this has some relevance to the topic.
I'm in Central Texas. I call the remote control a remote, but to my friend from Michigan, it's a clicker. Coke to me is pop to her, regardless of its flavor, and there are countless other disagreements in our slang.
...
I forgot what my question was. It had something to do with English slang as it varies from state to state. ; ;

I don't know many dialects but of the ones I know I like France french (the french in quebec is just weird, and in Ontario is often just english with a french accent, literally)
As for english, canadian...but I guess i'm kind of biased towards it.
