In fact, most times when the Jamaican people speak to each other, I can undrstand evem that.

I have no idea why this is the way it is but, I just wanted you to know that it's not just the two of you that have the problem. By the way, we have been going to Jamaica since 1989 and he is still in the dark much of the time when a Jamaican speaks to him. I hope you two do better than he has done.
Thanks for sharing that Max. I can imagine that that is how it is going to evolve with Sunshine and I. By the end of the trip I was picking up a few words here and there, but he was totally lost. It is good to know that we have a quite a few years to practice before we need to feel behind the eight ball!
