How are you so late?
Today on LetThemTalkTv you're going to learn how to speak Scottish English and you'll also learn a little bit of the fascinating history of the languages in Scotland.
Now I'm from London and this subject I am totally unqualified and ill-prepared to discuss and so I've elicited the help of a real Scottish person yes indeed and here he is it's Jack, hello Jack.
Hello Gideon, great to see you. - So Jack, first of all, where are you from and how would you describe your accent?
Yes so I was born in Aberdeen, the third city of Scotland but I grew up on the North Sea coast in a wee town, a little town, called Dornoch, the nearest well-known town to Dornoch is Inverness which is just a north of Loch Ness famous for the monster which I still haven't seen but I live in hope.
I would describe my accent as pretty standard Scottish with a slight Highland touch.
Thank you Jack.
Actually Gideon I have a wee gift for you. -Oh yeah what's this? -It is Irn-Bru Scotland's other national drink.
Oh yeah? -Scotland's most famous for whisky but there is a soft drink a fizzy drink called Irn Bru and the taste is quite unique I would say.
Can I try it? - of course. Let's see I should tell the viewers we're not sponsored by this drink, but I have heard about it, but I've actually never tried it, a fizzy drink you call them?
