I find Spanish grammar very easy but it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to understand certain accents -- for example Dominican Spanish is really hard for me to understand.

I've found certain Spanish accents, in English, very hard to understand as well. The way Cubans can drop whole consonants[0] ("Smith's" can become "hmi'") is particularly vexing.
