Scotland is one of my favourite countries to visit. Though it couldn't be more different than my Mediterranean island home, I feel as if it's a home away from home. The people are so helpful! And I love their accent! Luckily, I'm used to listening to Kevin Bridges on talk shows, so I mostly manage to understand the accent after the first day or two as my brain acclimatises to the sound and rhythm.
I have been to Scotland in 1998. it is magnificent country .The people are polite, decent and helpful. The scenery is unbelievable. everything is marvelous. my greetings from Egypt.
So cool that you made this video! I'm a Norwegian but also 1/12 Scottish from my mom's part of the family and in recent years, I've become very interested in my Scottish roots. I've never been to Scotland but I'd love to visit there someday. I have a tie and a scarf in the pattern of the Davidson clan, the clan my ancestors on my mom's side of the family used to belong to and it reminds me of how connected I feel to Scotland everytime I wear them although I've never been there. The Scottish accent is so charming and fun to listen to, it makes me wanna practice doing that accent myself to honour my roots more. I usually speak with an American accent and it is similar to the Scottish one in some regards (both are rhotic, for instance) but also very different, as it's fairly easy to tell the two apart. You did a great job presenting the Scottish accent in this video! :)
It's so cool, lad. I feel you. Despite me living in Ukraine and being Ukrainian for 95 per cent, I wasn't interested in my culture at all before 2022. Now I feel empowered and proud of what I know about myself. And we share a lot in common with Scottish people in terms of history, especially oppression from impires. Staying strong!
In Ireland Scotland and Wales they speak their own language as well. But in their dialects are also pronounced. I love Irish accent because it is closer to our Urdu accent.
Your video brings me great memories from the three times we visited Scotland. Last one was just last spring. Wonderful trip on the one direction roads in the Highlands, the NC500. Always friendly and polite people. The endearing word WEE: Wee coffee , wee shop..... Thanks a lot Katharine.
Wow! You are spot on when it comes to Scotland. Everything you said is so true. Scotland, as I mentioned in my first novel, is magical and enchanting even when it is raining. I went there last year and it rained a lot but those light rainy and misty days added the mystery and magic against the almost seen Highlands. I could have not said it better. I envy you English people to have this in your backyard. If I lived in England, I would go there at least once a year. If I knew you knew a lot about Scotland and their accents, I would have asked you to be my source material person for my first novel. Oh well, it is published now. I did do the Scottish accent but it was a general one; I used a special website that translates English sentences to general Scottish sentences. I tried very hard to find a person with a Glaswegian accent for my female protagonist but was unsuccessful. My apologies to the people of Glasgow if I got most of it wrong. Anyway, it is good to know. I love the way you do the Scottish accent. I laughed too but it is still much better than what I can do. P.S. You forgot to mention the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Edinburgh. What a great show!
For Brazilian Portuguese speakers is much easier to understand the Scotch accent because we roll the R and the pronounce of the T sounds the same , just like Scotch do
I m so sorry but isn t it correct to put it " ve re visiting Edinburgh next month"? I m not a local but I teach others. As far as I can get it Continuous is good for those who need viza and tickets.Right? Thanks.
I was in Edimburgh some years ago. It's a very beautiful place. The Highland are amazing and the people are polite and friendly. I hope will go back soon!!! Your video is a gift and a caress to the heart. Thanks bonny lass🎉
Hello Katharine! I had heard the Scottish national anthem, Flower of Scotland, at a rugby match in New Zealand. I like the NZ national anthem, god diffend New Zealand, but I also felt that Flower of Scotland feld me courageous. Thanks for the good video.
Katharine, In the store that I work at, here in the US, A man who had lost his wallet that I had taken to the customer service rep. I think was from Scotland. He identified himself as George White, I think. It was very charming to hear him talk that way! Also, one of my favourite Scottish actors is Tony Curran from Glasgow. You familiar with him?
Hi Cathie! Because Edinburgh and and Scotland are paradise on this planet,they simply enrapture people as if they were hypnotised by their eternal beauty.You're really looking a bony Scottish lass. A beautiful lesson like beautiful Scotland🙏❤
I am actually going to the UK for my holidays. We are going on week in the south of England and the second week we’re going to Scotland. I can’t wait to go there. So thank you so much for this video. I think it will help us :)
Good day bonny lass , the Scottish accent sounds so cute ! I m reading the book " Seduction of a Highland Lass" at the moment , by Maya Banks , and the described Scotland characters are indeed wilder , rugged , a bit harsher and a bit riskier than city dwellers . Family names normally start with Mc ... in Scotland ? 2. Reminds me of the movie " The Highlander " with star roles for rough men - Christopher Lambert - and - Sean Connery -in their glory days , and legendary film music by pop group Queen . 🎵
First of all, I'm an American. Years ago, I visited a friend in Kilmarnock (SSW of Glasgow). We went to his local pub and he introduced me to his friends. Two things happened: (1) I didn't buy a drink all night, and (2) I only understood about 10% of the conversation 😂. Well, and I suppose the third thing was I stumbled back to the house [much] later that night...
Kudos to you, Katharine, for courageously making this video. As someone who is Scottish and who has been a TEFL teacher for many decades, this made me smile. Some of it you had spot on; well done. Other words sounded nothing like anything I've ever heard in any part of Scotland..... which only served to underline all the subtle nuances. Even though I'm trained in phonetics, I don't think I'd be brave enough to attempt to model regional accents of England. (Although I speak six languages, accents are not particularly my strong suit.) Thanks for all the affirming comments on Scottish landscape and culture.
Hi sweet Katherine, here we are with another of your great videos!!! I presume that it should be difficult for us to understand the Scottish accent compare to the English one! Anyway Scotland is gorgeous, I went there in 1997,in August precisely during the Fringe festival, it stroke me profoundly... The landscape is spectacular and apart from Edinbourgh and Glasgow that I appreciated a lot, I went to the isle of Sky and visited also a spooky castle perched on a hilltop, some miles distant from Edinbourgh, at the moment I don't remember it's name. Thank you sweet Katherine, always💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
@@englishwithkatharine it was spectacular, unfortunately I didn't go to the military tattoo as it was a planned tour, but I clearly remember all the street artists performing along Princes Street... Uhh I have gooseskin🤣🤣🤣
Wow! Loved this. Would love to see a video comparing Yorkshire English, including cultural and linguistic differences, as well as dialectal words. Thank you

Wonderful ! I am French and 52 years old and discovering all these pretty accents. I had a 15 lessons some time ago with a British writer from Liverpool living in Spain. And I discovered these too many accents in the UK. It is like a parallel world ! Some troubles I got with the serial named "the responder".. when you are not used to listen to them ! I had to reward several times..with subtitles to make a link with my brain 😅. Wow ! But then now I can figure It out! Thank you for your explanations.. Christophe from Paris France.
I really enjoy your videos, contents and, most of all, your accent. I am very much looking forward to watching other videos of yours in the future that you are going to post here on UA-cam. Keep it up!!!
Scotland is the first in my bucket list of countries I wanna visit.! So scenic and picture perfect.! I watch various videos of Scotland, Ireland and many other UK countrysides.! Each one has its own charm and beauty.! No wonder, you're one of the most gorgeous girls I've ever seen since you're from one of those villages.! Right? Looking absolutely stunning in this peter pan collar blouse!! A super Bonny lass!!
Hello teacher Katharine! Greetings from Brazil! It's really nice to know that Scottish "show" is very similar to our Brazilian accent for the same word! 😂😂😂 I'm loving your channel! Congrats!
Very nice, helpful video. I am with a theater company which will be staging "Brigadoon" next March so I am hoping to learn a Scottish accent. Also Katharine, you remind me very much of my youngest daughter, especially the bubbly personality. Thank you!
I really appreciate you and your brilliant lessons. They are very useful for those who aren't living in English-speaking countries. what if beside the accent of Scotland you talk a bit about the culture of that country.
Lovely video .Thank you for this .Scotland is the best place to be ,especially The Highlands .There leads now way around to taste Haggis .I love it .Have a nice weekend as well .
My family is originally from Scottland I can trace memories through a few of the royal families there and so I wanted to surprise my very traditional Scottish grandmother and father on their birthday (there two days apart so they celebrate together) with a Scottish accent. Since they have one and often say they can't understand me I want to help them. Thanks for this! They also speck Scottish galic so I guess I need to learn that. Thanks for this!
Tapped R is easy for me, in my language we pronounce R strong. But it in some cases it is easy to missunderstand e.g. "Use your head" - "Use your hit".
Hi Katharine!!! I can't thank you enough for this most excellent video!!! That's right up my alley, since I truly love all Scottish!!!🏴🏴🏴 "Scotland is like England on steroids!!!" WELL PUT!!!👍👏 Have a great Friday in beautiful England!!! Take care!!!🤝🏴🇩🇪🙋♀️
Thank you for introducing the general scottish accent and the scottish culture. It is true, that there is difference between England and Scotland. I remember a man from the UK, who held firmly to be a Scotsman.
Thank you very much for a WONDERFUL video! I like to know more and more about the language and culture. But I would like to say that your speaking with this accent was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello, Katharine.😊 I found "Scottish Special" so interesting, like jazzy squirrels, treacherous weather…🐿️ And you said, "It's like England on steroids." I'm wondering what it means.🤔 Which means Scotland is more powerful than England? Scottish accents and dialects are completely new to me. That's good to know！Plus, your tartan dress is so elegant, so Scottish！You look absolutely dazzling in that outfit.🤩 Thank you for your outstanding lecture❗👏☺️
A very cool and amusing view of the Scottish Accent, it is a lot more rugged than British standard. It's funny they way they join vowels to pronounce words like Mouse -> MOOSE, Head-> HEED. And also I'd never ever heard of Cullen Skink soup; I will definitely look to find a cafe or restaurant that serves it when i go to Scotland. Thank you Katherine, I've subscribed and bought you a coffee
Interesting title to improve my english, i try listening your content many times, i hope i can speak english naturally while i frequently seeing your content, keep going miss, english education go go go!!!!
Hello Katherine, Scotland is such a lovely country to be. It is one of the great countries in the state of Great Britain apart from England and Ireland. Katherine, I have watched the Scottish music band. They have a large musical instrument like a saxophone and it has a lovely , melodious sound. Scotland has many historical places, including old castles. I love the famous British actress Emma Thompson who acted in Jane Austin's film " Sense and Sensibility" Katherine, I love the Scottish accents you taught to me. Thank you my best English teacher Katherine
Once I got aquainted with a Turkish owner of the shop and he introduced himself as Thomas.I said the name was s bit unusual for that soil and he explained that one of his parents was from Scotland. So it goes.
In 1993 at College: we had English teachers from Scotland called Nick Lakes & from Ireland called O'nonin, he tried hard to teach us some Irish Language.
That was bonny, Kath!!! I love your Scottish accent! I don't know Scottland, but I really want to go there now, and try the soup and of course, real Scotch. Ewan McGregor is my favourite actor, too. I loved him in Big Fish, as I also love Tim Burton. Thank you!!!☺
Great lesson, Katharine! These are essential things to be aware of because just because these countries are united does not mean they are the "same". Each one has its own identities. Do you intend to talk about Ireland and Wales as well? If you do, it will be great! 😊❤
@@englishwithkatharine Awesome! I have just finished watching your video about how to be an English rose. I had no idea that they held all these amazing characteristics. =)
My descendant's are from Scotland. Originally, they were MaCrea and morphed into McCraw and then ultimately into McGraw. We came across with Simon Fraser's 78th Highland Regiment of Foot. I think this happened because, when documented, the census takers couldn't understand what was being said and wrote down what they thought it should be. I would love to hear what MaCrea actually sounds like from someone with a thick Scot accent.
My wife is a Dundonian. When were were back up there recently and having a banter with her mum and aunt. Listening to the conversation, I thought that if my sister or son were present, it would be like a foreign language to them - ! 😅
I’m from just outside Glasgow and I can tell you, I struggle to understand a strong Dundee accent 😂 It’s the ‘eh’ sound. ‘My pie’ sounds like ‘meh peh’, for example.
Hey Katharine. Interesting as always! I think you made quite a decent Scottish accent. 🥰 I’ve got friends in Scotland, and although they split up, I still keep in touch with him-the Scottish one. He always tries to throw me off balance when texting by adding Scottish slang and words. Never given him the satisfaction, though. I usually Google it instead. 😉 During my last visit to Edinburgh, I was totally dumbstruck at passport control. The passport officer spoke pretty fast with a very noticeable Scottish accent, and I literally didn’t understand a word. 😅 By the way, in one of your previous videos, you recommended reading The Wind in the Willows. I’ve read a lot of English novels over the last thirty-odd years or so, but never The Wind in the Willows. I’ve seen it animated as a child. It’s just an utterly lovable book and story. ❣📖 I didn’t know beforehand that it was written in 1908. So, I love how the story also tells a more underlying story about the society and time period it was written in-at least I think it can be seen as such.
Hi Katharine, greetings from Brazil! How cool and excellent are all your videos. I always enjoy watching them all. The way you explain and comment on everything is always so calm, clear and so easy, that it's just impossible not to understand the different accents and pronunciations. Btw, this scottish tartan dress👗suits very well on you! Maybe you already have listened to any of Al Stewart songs as his famous "Year of the Cat", or "Time Passages" and "Palace of Versailles", but in case you haven't yet. It's totally worth it!. Al Stewart is scottish and he is one of my favorite singers of the '70s. He has an amazing accent with a very clear pronunciation singing and speaking. The way he pronounces the word "river", in his song Year of the Cat, is interesting, and sounds like "reh-var", instead of "ri-ver", the vowels sound so different. Thanks again for the video Katharine! I wish you a wonderful day and week! 🙂💂💐🦋🌹🐞🌻🐝
@@englishwithkatharine Thank you Katherine for your attention. I'm so glad you liked my comment! You really deserve it! Indeed, that song is amazing and it's one of my favourite songs too! 🙂🎵🎶💂 🇬🇧
In a nutshell, the Scottish accent is perfect for Spanish natives 😂. A lot of this words it sounds like my best friends would pronunce it first time 😆. Another great approach to Scotland culture is by reading the Peter May books. They are all dark novels and I think there are BBC series of his books. Well, Katharine, I loved your Scottish outfit today 😍🙈. I missed you this week, did you know it 😊? Thanks a bunch for this introduction! You amazing, princess 😚! And... I have a precious weekend, guapa 💞.

I’m trying to do a Scottish accent for Little John in my school’s performance of Robin Hood. Wish me luck chat
Love that R sound, seems cute
I really enjoy your videos, contents and, most of all, your accent. I am very much looking forward to watching other videos of yours in the future that you are going to post here on UA-cam. Keep it up!!!
Scotland is the first in my bucket list of countries I wanna visit.! So scenic and picture perfect.! I watch various videos of Scotland, Ireland and many other UK countrysides.! Each one has its own charm and beauty.! No wonder, you're one of the most gorgeous girls I've ever seen since you're from one of those villages.! Right? Looking absolutely stunning in this peter pan collar blouse!! A super Bonny lass!!
Oh how kind! I love a Peter pan collar blouse 😍😍😍
Hello teacher Katharine! Greetings from Brazil!
It's really nice to know that Scottish "show" is very similar to our Brazilian accent for the same word! 😂😂😂
I'm loving your channel! Congrats!
🤗🤗 thank you!!!!
Very nice, helpful video. I am with a theater company which will be staging "Brigadoon" next March so I am hoping to learn a Scottish accent. Also Katharine, you remind me very much of my youngest daughter, especially the bubbly personality. Thank you!
wow, it was amazing Kathi thank you as always.😘
I really appreciate you and your brilliant lessons.
They are very useful for those who aren't living in English-speaking countries.
what if beside the accent of Scotland you talk a bit about the culture of that country.
Salutations to the amazingly enthusiastic teacher of English language!! 😊 🎉
😍😍
Katherine, a lot of Scots words are from the Norse/Norwegian Vikings, and a lot of the old words are Pictish as well.
🤗🤗😍😍
Lovely video .Thank you for this .Scotland is the best place to be ,especially The Highlands .There leads now way around to taste Haggis .I love it .Have a nice weekend as well .

My family is originally from Scottland I can trace memories through a few of the royal families there and so I wanted to surprise my very traditional Scottish grandmother and father on their birthday (there two days apart so they celebrate together) with a Scottish accent. Since they have one and often say they can't understand me I want to help them. Thanks for this! They also speck Scottish galic so I guess I need to learn that. Thanks for this!
😊😊🤗🤗
@@englishwithkatharine it was realy helpfull expesicaly with R and double OO in house and sutch.
love Scotland , visited many times and I will come back !!
you have my like and my support
ooo and haggis are delicious, so good memories of Scotland
Looove haggis 😊
Well done! Your explanation is very good.
Tapped R is easy for me, in my language we pronounce R strong. But it in some cases it is easy to missunderstand e.g. "Use your head" - "Use your hit".
Hi Katharine!!!
I can't thank you enough for this most excellent video!!!
That's right up my alley, since I truly love all Scottish!!!🏴🏴🏴
"Scotland is like England on steroids!!!" WELL PUT!!!👍👏
Have a great Friday in beautiful England!!!
Take care!!!🤝🏴🇩🇪🙋♀️
Hahaha glad you enjoyed it 😁
Wow. That's was a great class! Thank you.
🙏☺️
Katherine is super fluent that she talks 'each words crafted perfectly, flowing like pearls .thanks alots
Aww thanks 🙏
Thank you for introducing the general scottish accent and the scottish culture. It is true, that there is difference between England and Scotland. I remember a man from the UK, who held firmly to be a Scotsman.
Thank you very much for a WONDERFUL video! I like to know more and more about the language and culture. But I would like to say that your speaking with this accent was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahaha thank you😂
Since I’ve been in UK as an exchange from Japan🇯🇵, I keep watching your videos to master RP accents!!
Looking forward to seeing further videos!
Glad to hear that ☺️
A wonderful, lovely and very interesting video, thank you! ❤
Hello, Katharine.😊 I found "Scottish Special" so interesting, like jazzy squirrels, treacherous weather…🐿️ And you said, "It's like England on steroids." I'm wondering what it means.🤔 Which means Scotland is more powerful than England?
Scottish accents and dialects are completely new to me. That's good to know！Plus, your tartan dress is so elegant, so Scottish！You look absolutely dazzling in that outfit.🤩
Thank you for your outstanding lecture❗👏☺️
🥰🥰🥰
A very cool and amusing view of the Scottish Accent, it is a lot more rugged than British standard. It's funny they way they join vowels to pronounce words like Mouse -> MOOSE, Head-> HEED. And also I'd never ever heard of Cullen Skink soup; I will definitely look to find a cafe or restaurant that serves it when i go to Scotland. Thank you Katherine, I've subscribed and bought you a coffee
Thank you soooo much!! Amazing comment Matt 🤗✨👏
Interesting title to improve my english, i try listening your content many times, i hope i can speak english naturally while i frequently seeing your content, keep going miss, english education go go go!!!!
Hello Katherine, Scotland is such a lovely country to be. It is one of the great countries in the state of Great Britain apart from England and Ireland. Katherine, I have watched the Scottish music band. They have a large musical instrument like a saxophone and it has a lovely , melodious sound. Scotland has many historical places, including old castles. I love the famous British actress Emma Thompson who acted in Jane Austin's film " Sense and Sensibility" Katherine, I love the Scottish accents you taught to me. Thank you my best English teacher Katherine
👌👌☺️😊😊
Once I got aquainted with a Turkish owner of the shop and he introduced himself as Thomas.I said the name was s bit unusual for that soil and he explained that one of his parents was from Scotland. So it goes.
In 1993 at College: we had English teachers from Scotland called Nick Lakes & from Ireland called O'nonin, he tried hard to teach us some Irish Language.
Very good introduction 🎉
That was bonny, Kath!!! I love your Scottish accent! I don't know Scottland, but I really want to go there now, and try the soup and of course, real Scotch. Ewan McGregor is my favourite actor, too. I loved him in Big Fish, as I also love Tim Burton. Thank you!!!☺
Wow! That's really informative video about England and Scotland! Your elaboration is great Katharine!! 😊 💐
😍😍
Great lesson, Katharine! These are essential things to be aware of because just because these countries are united does not mean they are the "same". Each one has its own identities. Do you intend to talk about Ireland and Wales as well? If you do, it will be great! 😊❤
Yessss 💕💕 I will!!
@@englishwithkatharine Awesome! I have just finished watching your video about how to be an English rose. I had no idea that they held all these amazing characteristics. =)
Ms. Katharine you are a great teacher 😚💗
Thank youuuu
My descendant's are from Scotland. Originally, they were MaCrea and morphed into McCraw and then ultimately into McGraw. We came across with Simon Fraser's 78th Highland Regiment of Foot. I think this happened because, when documented, the census takers couldn't understand what was being said and wrote down what they thought it should be. I would love to hear what MaCrea actually sounds like from someone with a thick Scot accent.
🤗🤗 love that
Enjoyed it!❤
😊💞
Thank you for the amazing video about the Scottish accent....Greetings from West Virginia State.
My wife is a Dundonian. When were were back up there recently and having a banter with her mum and aunt. Listening to the conversation, I thought that if my sister or son were present, it would be like a foreign language to them - ! 😅
I bet! 😍😍
I’m from just outside Glasgow and I can tell you, I struggle to understand a strong Dundee accent 😂
It’s the ‘eh’ sound. ‘My pie’ sounds like ‘meh peh’, for example.
I love Scotland, kind people, nice weather, pretty landscape. 🇲🇽♥️
Me too 🥰🥰🥰
I love your country
Loved this video! Thank you deaR! 😊
Hi gorgeous Katharine, I love your English lessons, thanks a lot and have a nice day! 😃👍
Glad you enjoyed it!! 😀
Hey Katharine. Interesting as always! I think you made quite a decent Scottish accent. 🥰 I’ve got friends in Scotland, and although they split up, I still keep in touch with him-the Scottish one. He always tries to throw me off balance when texting by adding Scottish slang and words. Never given him the satisfaction, though. I usually Google it instead. 😉
During my last visit to Edinburgh, I was totally dumbstruck at passport control. The passport officer spoke pretty fast with a very noticeable Scottish accent, and I literally didn’t understand a word. 😅
By the way, in one of your previous videos, you recommended reading The Wind in the Willows. I’ve read a lot of English novels over the last thirty-odd years or so, but never The Wind in the Willows. I’ve seen it animated as a child. It’s just an utterly lovable book and story. ❣📖 I didn’t know beforehand that it was written in 1908. So, I love how the story also tells a more underlying story about the society and time period it was written in-at least I think it can be seen as such.
Yessss it definitely does that 🥰🥰 one of my favourite stories everrrr 🦔🐇🐭
Hi Katharine, greetings from Brazil! How cool and excellent are all your videos. I always enjoy watching them all. The way you explain and comment on everything is always so calm, clear and so easy, that it's just impossible not to understand the different accents and pronunciations. Btw, this scottish tartan dress👗suits very well on you! Maybe you already have listened to any of Al Stewart songs as his famous "Year of the Cat", or "Time Passages" and "Palace of Versailles", but in case you haven't yet. It's totally worth it!. Al Stewart is scottish and he is one of my favorite singers of the '70s. He has an amazing accent with a very clear pronunciation singing and speaking. The way he pronounces the word "river", in his song Year of the Cat, is interesting, and sounds like "reh-var", instead of "ri-ver", the vowels sound so different. Thanks again for the video Katharine! I wish you a wonderful day and week! 🙂💂💐🦋🌹🐞🌻🐝
Wow!!! That's one of my favourite songs of alllllll time! I didn't know he was Scottish! Thank you so so much for your wonderful comment ☺️
@@englishwithkatharine Thank you Katherine for your attention. I'm so glad you liked my comment! You really deserve it! Indeed, that song is amazing and it's one of my favourite songs too! 🙂🎵🎶💂 🇬🇧
In a nutshell, the Scottish accent is perfect for Spanish natives 😂. A lot of this words it sounds like my best friends would pronunce it first time 😆. Another great approach to Scotland culture is by reading the Peter May books. They are all dark novels and I think there are BBC series of his books. Well, Katharine, I loved your Scottish outfit today 😍🙈. I missed you this week, did you know it 😊? Thanks a bunch for this introduction! You amazing, princess 😚! And... I have a precious weekend, guapa 💞.
Thank you for the suggestion 😊
@@englishwithkatharine You're welcome 🥰 Take care 😇.
My favourite Scottish word: swally
And I've just learnt to say, "Gie's a swally."
Or another useful sentence here: "fancy a wee swally?"
Thank you for this video, I very much enjoyed it. I gather that some "Rs" are very similar to our italian R sound.
きれいな発音ですね。
UKは場所により様々な方言があり、とても興味深いです。
Train SpottingもT2も見ましたが、言葉は全然聞き取れませんでした。ユワン・マクレガーの発音は、SWに出ているときと全く違いますね。
薬をキメに行くことを「電車を見に行く」という言い方は、なるほどと思いました。
機会があったらまた拝見します。日本語で失礼しました。Thank you.
Second comment ,❤ your teaching very helpful ❤
Oh thank you so much for watching 🙂
Thanks for that information given !
⚘️🙏
Finallyyyyy!!!!!! Thanks Katharine!!
Thanks Kat, and today, your outfit looks like a kilt, it has the same patterns. 😮
Yes, going with Scottish theme 💖
A Scottish Doric accent is just fab! Understood none at first😂.
