I feel like being able to understand announcements on the train is the ultimate test of language proficiency

Guh I thought I was good at Dutch before I moved here but every day now it's like: who will win, hundreds of hours of listening practice or a little bit of audio distortion and static

If English is not your first language, I cannot imagine how difficult it is to understand what they say on the subway as you as you leave JFK.

I wish there were written banner notifications on the trains that support it. Would help immensely, not to mention it would be a boon for accessibility.
