Notaro/Capesam....Question

[STEVE IN MASS]

Hey guys, have a question for you regarding lip reading (Sam, I believe you said your son is hearing impaired....forgive me if I am mistaken).

A new employee is starting next week at the place Donna works, and she happens to be hearing impaired. Evidently she reads lips.

However, there is another woman there (Amanda) that is from Columbia, and she has quite a thick Latin American accent. Donna mentioned that she thought the new employee would have a lot on her hands with Amanda because of her accent. I mentioned that I think it wouldn't matter, as long as she was actually speaking English.

So, the question came up, is it difficult for people that must read lips to do so if somebody has an accent?

Thanks......
