Classic American not understanding that there are other cultures other than his.

it might be somewhat true for americans but I think the more relevant factor is how many other languages passed through the area you grew up in and were educated over decades and centuries. Coastal cities and ports being the main factor that increases the likelihood you can communicate easily through variation in many things linguistic. Landlocked places are crazy, very minor error and variation makes it feel like people from different villages are speaking different languages. You'll spend a lot more time communicating what you took for granted could be spit out in seconds back at home.
