Me, as well! I LOVE Scottish women's accents!!

[@glael38]

As a German.. learning how to do a Scottish accent... making my teachers cry xD

[@onyx.the.stone.]

SAME

[@PinkGreenPurpleMonsterEnergy]

@@user02834I struggle from suddenly having a Texas or or Scottish accent with big emotions

[@Tea-ql4ok]

except this is nae accent, this is a language. This is Scots. One of the three spoken languages in Scotland. Scottish English (that's the accent) Scottish Gaelic & Scots.

[@MrGlickClick]

If this is Scottish 101, can I ask for the pre-101 course? This one is too hard!

[@joecalvert53]

MrGlickClick bahahahaha

[@MrGlickClick]

Joe Calvert, is that a Scottish word? I can't tell anymore.

[@WeeScottishLass]

MrGlickClick Oh dear!! I'm sorry I didn't know where to start I thought this would be the easiest xD

[@MrGlickClick]

WeeScottishLass, Ye shouldnae listen to a bam like me. ;) JK Dinnae fash yersel. LMAO

[@MrGlickClick]

BTW thank you for the video. It was entertaining.

[@tr3kstar]

As an American, the 'ae' replacing 'n't' and 'o' at the end of words is quite my favorite Scottish-ism, specifically in the context of Twitter when folks write/spell in this way. Not sure why, but it allows me to hear the words in accent in my head as I read them. All other English language texts are read in my own boring inner monologue voice. God bless you Scottish Twitter. And Scots in general.

[@Roguephilsopher]

It seems slightly easier to learn Scottish language verbally than its written because it makes your head turn lol. But, I always wanted to go to Scotland to see what everything is because its really underrated wonderful place.

[@mr.e-wheel]

This is the best video I have ever seen about speaking Scottish. Believe me, I've been living in Scotland for more than one year, and I've been trying to find anything and everything to help me understand Scotts, because I'm FAE Poland.

[@laragundlach9285]

Please, make a series out of this. It's amazing. Greetings from Germany.

[@killianjones3477]

You're awesome! I'm italian and i'm going to study in Scotland next year! I'm a little worried i won't be able to understand the accent. Anyway, I'm already in love with your country and i'm checking all your videos to learn all about it!

[@WeeScottishLass]

Killian Jones YEY Oh you're going to love it! I think you'll be fine with the accent if you watch plenty of Scottish KZbinrs, movies and tv shows etc! thanks so much for watching my vids!!!

[@lynnyoung1555]

Aye don’t forget yer big jakit an wellies that’s jacket and Wellington boots🙈

[@greglogan7706]

Someone probably already asked this but I'm curious whether the spelling is the same as standard English spelling despite the massive variation and pronunciation

[@Falanu]

I just love how this sounds!

[@boojeboy1]

I am so smitten with you. Your voice is like music to my ears.

[@SimonLanghof]

Holiday in Scotland starting in three weeks and you post this. Perfect. I won't need half a day or more to understand people this time :)

[@nicolan4215]

Love it! At the end of my books, I include a notes section. The last book I made sure to add things like "How to pronounce Cockburn Street & Edinburgh" as well as how "yous" isn't a grammatical error, and what the character Alfie means when he says things like "wisnae well happy", "sesh", "mibbe", and "gawn". hahahaha

[@amygreen4408]

You just make me laugh! Love your vlogs! Hope you're have a blast in Japan!🤩

[@annieb744]

[@ElizabethGomez-qb3ft]

in USN, 10 day ship inspection/training in Holy Loch. when our team flew back to the USA, i was sairved a gen'rous bit of a culture shock seemed to be a local humor about stationed navy folk. my wife thought i'd gone nuts. we took a trip through southern Virginia. just drive 50 miles from a metro area: country folk talk like refugees from 18th century Scotland, here. the dialect is called "Tidewater". you have a new sub, luv.

American with Scottish heritage wanting to learn. Enjoyed this video very much

[@Artist21st]

GREAT video Mosco! I'm (trying to-be) an actor from USA and my resume of accents consists of Indian Cuban Irish and Scottish... I drill each day... so an authentic Scottswoman such as yourself.. I feel so lucky... thank you this helps..... oh crap me bacon is burning gotta go 😂

Yo this is gonna be so helpful for a Scottish character in my book series

Hello there. My name is Jason. I just love your KZbin channel. Also I wanted to tell you how much I love your animated intro. It looks so professional. I think it is the best one out there in KZbin land. Peace to you and your loved ones.

[@DavidAtchison121]

Well done. I only understoood about half but that okay. Coming to Edinburgh today.

[@Bladeluce]

Oh damn. Saw your necklace and fell in love.

[@BarryEuphorik]

This guide is essential for my English relatives because when i've been down there they sometimes haven't got a clue what i'm saying.

[@aurelijusvijunas529]

Many thanks for this video - it was great fun. I wonder if you could read some Scottish poetry aloud? “The twa corbies”, “Willie’s lady”, or others - your pronunciation is clear and beautiful, and it would be very useful for us people in other parts of the world! :) I would greatly appreciate this!

[@riopermadi1966]

I am in love! 😍😍😍😍😍

[@belzebubis]

Me and my family are going to go to Scotland reaaally soon and I am loving yer videos, bonnie lass💕 It is very helpful hear yer accent and they are funny! (I'm trying to speak like a scottish but it is hard even more because I am Spanish xd)

[@faketeecake2080]

if you ever go back to america or is havnae been payin attention, you should travel to alaska in the summer its just beautiful :D

Your videos are very informative, I like your accent.

Thanks for making my life easier

[@JEMCochran49]

and that is why it took me two months to understand the Scots when I lived in Scotland. Thanks Mosco for the flashback.

[@drrd4127]

Really? Wow, never thought it was that hard.

[@silverbluegoddess]

Great video.

[@JamboC-et8jn]

Aye hen I am a pure Scottish Linguist, I didnae ken wit was happenin in de video. Haha

[@wolfrayne8355]

Did You Know I was so proud to understand that 😂

[@Sv-eg2fy]

I dinny ken how lads dinnea understand Scottish

[@drrd4127]

Well, there's different dialects of Scots so everyone speaks it differently. I am from Glasgow and we talk it slightly differently than this lady. We don't say ken for example.

[@candidpedropascal.5459]

Thank ye very much! This helped me a lot because i want to learn scottish. I love scotland, its my favorite country and i really want to study there (like Glasgow or Edinburgh). And ye have to know that i am german. So its very difficult learning scottish without help or anything else. Thanks!😊❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Yes, please. I have a character in one of my books whose background I've been struggling with and just decided to make her a Scot so, Yes, keep adding to this thread. I need her to be authentic.

[@CAPTMAHI]

Hello, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. The subject matter isn't terribly important to me as I just love your accent. As far as I'm concerned you can just as well read the newspaper out loud, that's how much I enjoy hearing you speak. It's just lovely,truly. So much so I feel compelled to visit Scotland. Wait a minute....do you work for the Scottish tourism industry? lol All the best and God bless. Thanks

[@WeeScottishLass]

Awww thank you so much!! =D I am glad! Maybe one day I'll read something, just because I can haha x'D Thanks so much for such a kind comment!

[@nksleepy9367]

Thank you mate

[@velvetmidget]

This was absolutely great. You did an amazing job. I am very slow so if you slowed down the slides a bit more. For instance you put up all the words that you are saying but then it disappears before I can even read it. Maybe leave the words up and repeat it 3 times. Thank you so much. I love your accent. I am in the US and really want to nail the scott’s accent.

[@thomazaquino188]

i have some scottish characters in my books (one of them appears constantly) and when i'm reading it i always make my own accent (messed up standard usa accent) for all the characters i wanted to give my few scottish characters the accent they deserved, but after this video i see it's only for greater human beings, out of my tongue's capability thank you for the video anyway, i loved it 💙🤍

im english and my bf is scottish and i just never heard his voice before and idk how scottish people talk but now i do after watching this.
