Thats great to watch native citizens like that. Thank you for the content mate :D

[@Brunosantos-hj3ee]

Nice content sir, very entertaining and informative. Videos like these exploring different aspects in a local community, in this case their culture, are always a treat to watch. One thing wrong with the subtitles I (think I) noticed was that at 3:46 the the woman says: "So we kinda all come together and do it. It's quite fun." Whereas the subtitles says: "so you can't all come together and do it. It's quite fun"

Thanks for letting me know, I must missed that one as I automate them and the go through it manually while editing

I think a good April Fools joke would be for all of the major companies to transfer their call centers to Scotland for a day 😂

It's interesting to see how locals speak English like this. A test of their English. ;-)

[@gunhasirac]

this more of a video for accent and the test is just a reason made up for it I feel lol Love it!

[@InstantEnglishUK]

Scottish don’t actually have to take the test, no natives have to. It’s just a fun way to teach

[@Someonrr4458]

This is nice way to learn English

[@InstantEnglishUK]

Glad you enjoyed

Yes, they are about 9. So natural and completed, saturated and fluent.

[@FelipeGuadarramaValencia2000]

For me, all British accents are pretty. ❤❤❤❤

[@lauraklein4756]

So, what are their individual scores? I'm disappointed that you didn't go into details when evaluating them.

[@InstantEnglishUK]

I think it’s a bit harsh to criticise to that extent as they are not aware of the test. However, I make a challenge like this because I basically want to present natural phrases or grammar structures that natives use in a fun way! I hope you understand

[@lauraklein4756]

@@InstantEnglishUK thank you for answering. Now I understand the reason why you didn't grade them individually. I think that it would be an interesting experiment to make natives take the oral exam. I had colleagues that were IELTS examiners, and when talking about the flaws of the test, they all concurred with the fact that natives can fail the exam if they don't study for it. In my opinion, IELTS test your preparation for the exam rather than evaluate your actual language level. This is because you are expected to answer in a specific way in a determined amount of time. In my experience, I've seen people prepear for the exam, and get a higher score that students that have a superior level in the language.

✌ *1:05** como hablante de español que no conozco el idioma inglés, como primera impresión, Ross me parecería que es de otro país; Kieran sería británico; Katrina como un extranjero con perfecta pronunciación del inglés y Daisy parecería estadounidense.* Buen video, muy ameno.

[@stevedavenport1202]

If the score were based on reading, writing and speaking, the Scottish would pass 2 out of 3

[@Caitlin-ct8ui]

im in this😊

[@LNVACVAC]

OECD 4 = CEFR C1 = IELTS ACADEMIC 7.0 Less than 30% of Scots whith Bachelor's Degrees or above achieve it. Less than 20% in the General population. Writing and Reading are the barriers. Most individuals will achieve 5.0 up to 6.5 Overall, and 5.0 up to 6.0 on Writing and Reading.

[@InstantEnglishUK]

Oh yeah?

[@LNVACVAC]

@@InstantEnglishUK Have you heard of the A levels and A* grade inflation? UK universities are complaining A* certificates are on past A level, and A levels currently are around only 70% of the expected performance. An A* currently is on par with IELTS 6.5.
