How can I tell my coworker that I think their accent is distracting and difficult to understand, without sounding too harsh?

I'm going to be honest, I have trouble understanding you at times because of your accent. It's not a criticism - accents are part of what make people unique! But I'd advise you to try and enunciate a bit more so it'd be easier for those around you to get your point.

In a way that's both understanding and tactful. You could say something like, "I appreciate your enthusiasm when you speak, but it can be difficult for me to understand your accent sometimes."
