I would be happy to be fluent in "American English"...
I am some what fluent in UK English and I speak a few words of Australian.
 :-)

One of the harder dialects to master is east KY and TN from above certain
elevations.

I speak decent basic math but hardly a word of algebra...
I understand very basic geometry but to me calculus is a bony foot growth.
I wanted to learn more but after I heard that Mobius (who apperantly wasn't
quite sure how to spell his name) was going to strip I got out of the math
department before I got in trouble...
