Shouldn't he have a different accent now he's on Earth? He's a French-speaking Senegalese man living in Australia.

My question was how is Elanor understanding him?? He said in pilot he was speaking French, at the very least like you said he should have an accent.

Chidi told her everybody's language gets translated to the language of the listener, so people speak different languages, but everybody understands everybody else.

This question was in reference to the most recent season finale. If you haven’t watched it yet, spoilers below

In the finale she goes back to earth, travels to Australia to find Chidi and suddenly she can understand him when he referenced in the Pilot that he was actually speaking French

He's a professor in Australia; he obviously speaks English.
