Funny story, had this happen to me in a hostel in Germany. I had to “translate“ from English with a heavy Italian accent to/from English with a heavy Vietnamese accent between roommates. Basically I just repeated what each said into my California English accent with a few touch ups. Everyone finally understood. :D

Same thing happened to me once with a Welsh couple in Krakow. The husband and I could understand the wife but not each other.

I did the same for my Grandfather, with his Punjabi accent, and a Jamaican cashier.
