I am Cambodian, and I used to work with a Scottish boss for about 4 years. I thought my English was very bad because at the time I could understand him only 30-40%. But I was surprised when Americans and Australians visited our office and they talked to me "I do not understand the English of your boss". 🤭🤭🤭

[@temporaladvisor3958]

This topic of not understanding the Scottish dialect came up on another KZbin video last week. There are famous Scottish actors, three of them being Dr. Who, yet we don't struggle to understand them unless they get excitedly wound up. But the Glaswegians! That's a whole 'nother kettle of fish. Frankie Boyle and Kevin Bridges immediately spring to mind. I usually have to use closed caption to follow them.

Russell Hunter was born in Glasgow, but I assume that he was putting on a very heavy accent for this role because in the TV series Callan he speaks with a very believable south London accent.

[@helenamcginty4920]

Hes an actor. He uses the accent relevant to the role. Its a skill actors learn. Also, as in any city, it depends where in Glasgow a person grows up how strong the accent is and how Scottish the vocabulary. My mother normally spoke with a standard southern English /RP sort of accent but whenever she spoke of her home turf, Stepney , out came the cockney.

This reminds me of my trip to Isle of Skye last year when a bunch of Singaporeans were on the same trip as me (I’m a Singaporean as well) but couldn’t understand our tour guide who was speaking in a Glaswegian accent! Funny enough I understood him 95% of the time (I had a school exchange trip to Glasgow in 2019) and managed to translate most of what he said to the Singaporean bunch. It was quite interesting because I barely stayed in Glasgow for more than 2 months and somehow I can understand almost everything they say. And btw he was speaking in proper English and even then it was hard for them to understand. I miss you Stevie! Hope you’re doing well buddy!!

This show was fun then but people won't see it that way now.

[@SasBald]

Were the captions auto-generated, on occasions they are quite off the mark? If you created them yourself: excellent job, but it is hard to get the hang of some of the thicker English accents unless you have lived there. If the closed captions were auto-generated, then it is good news: AI has a long way to go and Skynet will totally fail in Scotland, Wales, and any place north of the Wash for the foreseeable future.
