Thanks a lot for posting these videos! I'm trying to learn since I'm going to Scotland in July, I hope I will unterstand you guys talking...hugs from Italy
I do enjoy your video's, and I do wish that I someday would be able to talk Scottish properly. I am Norwegian of course, so I have a help with the Rolling 'R''s, but that is about it.
Please as much as possible. I love the sound of the words.
@mintspace haha, norwegian is like a swedish thats messed up.. im a swede.. i think i would say its like.. swedish represents english, norwegian is like scottish, danish is like really hardcore irish.. and finnish are like real welsh (because finnish is a whole other language)
I'm supposed to be doing an acting peice soon where I play a scottish person and you're videos really help.
I am actually half Scottish, My mam is from England but my Da is from Inverness unfortunatly being raised by my mother left me with the typical London accent (which I deteste) I love your videos. Keep making them L x
I'm american as well. I can hear the difference between scottish, irish, and english accents blindfolded. I loved Richard Burton's voice. He was from Wales, right?
oh aye and b4 u go callin me an arsehole m8, lets take a look at the fact ur doin scottish lessons. no1 except scottish people can do a good scottish accent funily nuff coz weer scottish and u cum from a douchebaggy part of scotland. ad liek to see u cum down to glasgow n call me an arsehole
just for the record, I'm american, but not all of us are complete idiots. I can hear the difference between scottish, irish, and english accents pretty clearly. If I had a choice in the matter, I would move to Europe to learn more about different languages and cultures and all that jazz. but for those who are criticizing, just dont go stereotyping people based on what country they are from.
@lemon24942 Agree with you. I am the same way. Though I will say a lot of Americans are daft in thinking that Irish and Scottish are exactly the same... I also wish that most of Europe didn't hate americans ._.
@lemon24942 No one is sterotyping you if you would listen and TRY to understand. You mite be american you could an israelite he is not sterotyping you or anyone else. UNDERSTAND use your brain.
you are a psycho.... america is about 30 times larger than england, scottland, ireland and wales combined. Must take a lot of energy to hate a billion diverse people...
Britian is the most obese country after America (mainly because america is MUCH bigger than britain) Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland make up Britain....
Mind it was British who moved to the new world and drove out the red idians.... (( Natives Sorry )) For all you know your ancestors coulda been one of those British people who drove them out - so could mine for that matter!
Have some respect man
I'm a Scot and Proud but it's arseholes like YOU that give us a bad name
btw wne u decide to leave stupit messages about my comment bout red indians n shit, i am a desendant of a red indian and there are considerably more fuck fuckers in america coz they eat 10x more than they need to so dont come leavin faggy comments bout my opinion! scottish b4 brittish
I need to do a Scottish accent for this show, and I'm supposed to be a Scottish businesswomen, so this really helps. I used to sound,,, I'm not sure what my Scottish accent used to sound like, but now it's alot better haha. Thanks!
Haha, you remind me just like my hippie Scottish-American friend. He doesn't have a Scottish accent since he was born in the states, but his demeanor and attire are quite Scottish.Yes, i remember his famous kilt back in freshman and sophmore years...
Ray, i believe a lesson you should do is the pronunciation of a word like "person". I'm from Glasgow, moved to British Columbia a few years back, and my friends always ask my how to pronounce words and such, and one they can't get a handle of is "person".
For those wondering, most scots pronounce it "p-AIR-son" and not "p-UR-son"
This accent series is alot of fun, hope you keep doin it. I also liked it when you went outside and we got to see more of your country - hope to see more of it this summer if you get time.
oh, i love your accent...please please say dir en grey, okay? :3 thats my favourite japanese rock band, and actually it's pronounced like "deer (or dear) en grey" ...would be nice! xD 5/5
peoeple redin this should no that teh guy in this video is rather posh so if you want a more comon accent just search "still game" or "chewin the fat" in tae teh bar and that should help ye
the acting videos are really funny and entertaining (and educational, duh).
but i love this natural sound too. it's hotter. heh.
anyway, I'm looking forward to more videos. I'm reading Trainspotting and trying to do the accent in my head when i read it... that's how all this started for me.
Hey ya, cool vid again... yes, as someone else said-the romantic stuff. What sort of things and how is it said? you could inform us being in the whole spirit of valentines and all.. Or are we going to go on the typical scottish stereotype of being skint with the words of lovey doveyness? What kind of things does a scottish man say to his girl on valentines? or any time? Please elucidate! Ta!
Thank you, Michael! We do appreciate your time and effort. Probably we have different reasons for looking at your posts, but as for me, I'm just hooked on your charismatic persona! But if I ever meet an actor who needs to get Scottish for a role, ohboy, I sure enough will send him your way!!
I think your accent is easier to understand than many Scots. When I visited, I went to Glasgow and the lowlands and then up through Argyle... I had to ask "what?" so many times the natives probably thought I was mentally defective. They spoke so quickly and left out so many consonants... was that just a regional thing?
Hey! Glad to see you're back! I liked the change of pace of this video. I have enjoyed your speaking naturally. But I've also enjoyed your voice acting, too! Thanks for all the great lessons!!
jUST BY THE BY, rAY,COULD YOU MAYHAP GET "rOMANTIC" IN YOUR NATIVE ACCENT? i WOULD ADORE HEARING THAT, AND YOU MIGHT AID IN THE CAUSE OF WANTING TO PULL A FOXY MEMBER OF THE OPPOSITE SEX. ;-d PS-FORGIVE THE CAPS i AM NEAR BLIND.
I like that you're talking because to be honest I would repeat the things you said priar to making a pronounciational example. If you could just say sentances for us to practice with it would help a lot. Thank you once again for making these.
It's not a problem seeing you acting. It's fun to see you emphasize your accent and it helps to understand how the scottish accent works. So, if you don't like to be natural in front of a camera, don't be. That should help you, and also help us to see you less... depressed ? :)
And if you don't understand a word I've been writing I'm sorry... I'm french and not always sure of what I'm saying in english.
But, Mikey-Poo-- you ARE talking to real persons, don't you know that? You;re talking to US!! (And to THEM, too!) As for not having privacy, people all around the world have seen the inside of your house, your bathroom, your shower, your kitchen, your li'l bruzzer Ben, your sister, through the magic of YouTube, so there!
