After watching a tons of Hollywood film, I just found out that british accent is tough to comprehend over americans accent for an english learners such as me, or perhaps I'm the only one who do. The fact is, british people likes to drop a lot of letters sound mostly "r" that's one of reason they sound strange to me. However, I prefer to learn that accent anyway, because they're sound sexy for me.

You need a capital B. It's worth remembering that there is not just one, British accent. The UK has a great variety of regional accents. More than the USA has.

English, should always be written with a capital letter E.

In practice, this means that British pronunciation of the letter r is not very strong, as it is most American pronunciation.

It's just a matter of what you personally, are used to. If you are more used to hearing American accents, then others will be difficult to understand, because they are not the same. If you increase the amount of British English that you listen to, you will get used to it and find it easier to understand.

Do Americans have a hard time comprehending the British accent clearly, as I do?

Occasionally, but not very often. No. For some of us it's more difficult to understand a Brooklyn accent. The accents in Scotland can sometimes be indecipherable, though.

Strange, but ****? That's an interesting combination.

I once toured England and Ireland. England was first. When I got to Ireland, I said to myself, "Well, finally, people who can say an R! Even so, they still drive on the wrong side of the road."
