- Dae ye talk Scots? In Scotland, locals speak English, but they have their own dialect, which means a set of different words that aren't used in England. At first, the accent might also be difficult to understand. There might be a lot of vocabulary that you have never heard before. In this lesson, I’m going to teach you common Scottish vocabulary and fun phrases in my best Scottish accent! Depending on who you ask, "Scots" is either a dialect of English, or it’s vocabulary that is considered a local slang. However, if you are visiting Scotland, the difference in language is close enough that native English speakers can understand most of it easily. The Scots language spoken in Scotland varies depending on the region. Therefore, in this lesson, I will include the most well known Scottish vocabulary as well as some examples of Doric phrases (North East Scots). Be sure to make fun of my attempts at the Scottish accent!
Why am I watching this instead of doing work?
This is useful vocabulary for understanding the TV series "Outlander"!
jej3451 was just thinking about Outlander haha
Scots is a language and recognised as such on the Scottish census. Yes many scots speak english , over a million and a half speak scots. They are distinct languages with a common ancestor , in much the same way nordic languages have a common ancestor in old Norse and therefore have mutual intelligibility.
Years ago I went to Scotland and it turned out to be one of the best experiences I've ever had. We were lucky with the weather and with all the people we met along the way.
I specially remember the day we went to Stirling. At the end of the day we dropped in a pub and the locals gave us a very warm welcome and created a friendly ambience so we stayed for a long while drinking and chatting with them.
Needless to say that we spaniards with our BBC english barely understood what they said. I even asked if they spoke Gaelic !
Fortunately a kind man patiently "translated" for us what the attendees were telling and we all had a very funny and interesting evening.
I strongly recommend to visit Scotland, moreover it is a very nice country.
Best regards for all the scots out there.
Scottish sounds a lot more like a germanic language than English does. Reminds me of Dutch for some words.
I enjoyed the lesson. The most difficult aspect of learning Scottish pronunciation from Spanish is the vowel sounds and diphthongs. As for the consonants, they even roll their R's.
I went 2 times in Scotland!
First time Island of skye and Inverness
Second time Edinburgh
I love Scotland ❤️❤️❤️
Rather iffy pronunciation of sassenach.
It seems that Scotts can easily learn Dutch.
NOW I understand where the "Canadian" "aboot" (about) comes from!! Scotland!!
Besom is very similar to Bezem in Dutch which has the exact same meaning.
And, Haud Yer (wheest) looks like Houd Je (mond) in Dutch as well.
dat dacht ik ook meteen ;-)
thank you i shared it with my scottish friend and she laughed
Great lesson! I like to see you again in the positive mood. Cheers!
I love the Scottish accent, is the best. I'm spanish talker and your "R" is lovely
As a Brazilian (portuguese speaker) ,I understood the meaning of "Och aye"...so I can head to Aberdeen now...
It's more of a tapped /r/ in most words which you said quite well when you said "drinking".
As they say: I'm from Scotland, I roll my R's, but that's not the same as my arse! 😃
This is so cool. I’m learning Gaelic and England is sasainn. So sassenach for English people is so cool to know why!!
Todo lo mejor para ti profesora Jade !!!
i like the vid, however i wanted to interject that the scots tap their r's more than roll them. the ch sound could use a little work, but otherwise i like how informative the vid is
Generally, when Scots speak, they sound like they are well pished off! 😁
Loved the video and your red hair! 😍
You are brilliant!! Thanks for the video

You're amazing! I love your lessons, I would never tire of listening to you. 🤗
Brilliant of you, Jade! Accents and dialects enrich languages, making our world way richer, more nuanced, varied and colourful. Standard languages(dialects) and accents are equally important as well.
I can relate with that oot for out .👌
Some day i meet someone from scotlandia and tell about my city makassar, indonesia and i said in deep of my heart.. what?? I couldn't understand what the said.. i said could you speak in english please and they said sorry, i'm scotish.. Now i understand why i couldn't understand what they said.. even people from england couldn't understand
Very helpful and funny way to understand Scots better, thank you for this video! And thanks to the person who showed me the video :)
one of the biggest challenges of my life was understanding a tour guide's Scots accent, which came through lousy tinkling speakerphones on a very noisy bus. second only to an underwater sword fight with a shark.
nah, of course I've made that one up
oh boy, just by the thumbnail i knew ratings would be disabled...
I really enjoy those uk dialects. PLS DO NORTHERN IRELAND ACCENT

Awesome lesson! Thanks Jade 😺
Lovely. Are you going to do a generic Northern English as well? Would love to be represented, lol
Very proud

I loved the scots lesson. It's a bonny 'un. yer a canny lassie. I can understand scot noo. thank you besom!
PS: I didn't mean to insult anybody, I'm sorry if I did.
I love it. Scotland has been calling my name…. This summer maybe.
Thanks Jade
Hello ma'am, your videos are awesome, I have recently found this channel ,actually all of your network of eng vid.And can you tell what is your accent in other regular videos and other teachers in this network??
Ewan McGregor/Robert Carlyle (Trainspotting-1996) 😊👍
Very nice lesson! Very artistic and fun!!! But so hard to memorize all these Scottishizms.
Well, I learned a lot from this lesson.
very funny-i wanna "moose" with jade :p lol
Ha! Thank you!
I enjoyed yes.
Thanks engVid! Jade you're really cool and funny. I enjoy your teachs and jokes. Greetings from Argentina!
I've watched Outlander and Brave so 😛 thanks for the lesson
This is really just perfect.

This what I'm looking for. Thx jade
Sounds like how to train your dragon accent. I like it!!
Wow!
Hilariously brilliant
Oh, the Pumuckl is still alive. The Pumuckl comes originally from Bavaria-Germany. Maybe he immigrated to Scotland in the 80's-
You're the best, Jade!
Well, why I'm watching this even though I'm quite intense IELTS(Academic English Exam) learner?
Perhaps I should use these words to show my abundant lexical resource to examiner !
She reminds me of the science officer in mass effect andromeda
Glad to see your new video
Aboot time us doric folk got a shout oot ✌😂
i'm scottish and this funny
I don't know if this was done in jest. It comes across as quite funny.
Very interesting lesson. Thanks Jade!
That wash awesome, thank you. One of my best friends growing up was from Scotland. Spent summers at their house until I could speak in that dialect. Love the hair too 😊 I remember poof wasn't a good term to use. I just don't remember what it meant. Lol
Thank you darling I've been in Scotland since 2018 but I'm still struggling with the Scottish accent.
I'm only part Scottish, Irish, and Welsh so I'm trying to build an accent for myself. I have no accent sadly :((
Hello From Antalya(Turkey) ..but we cannot understand londonCocney Accent ..ı d love it .. please make much more linking(reduced,catanation) words for nativ understanding ,,pleasee
I enjoyed a lot
Uploaded at perfect moment! Going to Edi in 3 days
Anyone can explain Dutch words in old Scottish dialects (ken-know, ilke-every, etc)? I was reading 17 century manuscripts of sons writing to their fathers while studying in the Netherlands, maybe through such lanes? BTW Sassanach is pronounced with H at the end.
I hear some of the words come from The Dutch language. Interesting. Sounds even Dutch.
I like your lessons ! Perfect!
Love it! Thank you!!!
It's very interesring. Thank you.
Great outfit and nice lesson!! is good to get explain this differences between in the same island. when you are never been there somethimes everything gets mixed
I'm here because I'm curious about Merida's accent.
Id hae ye oer ma lap lass. Gee yea skeplit
This is soooo cool and fun!!
It is similar in some ways to the Geordie accent ( Newcastle)
Omg I've just loved it!!! I love scots dialect, and you've pronounced it so rrright ( haha how to deescribe that r?). I dream about going to Aberdeen!! I vote for more lessons on Scots!!!!!😍
I can’t roll my r’s either and my name is also Jade lmao
I physically CANNOT roll my r’s
Thanks for this video. I loved it.
l can't believe that how can you do that
Huge thanks Jade
Interesting !!! 😉👍
I want to understand that acid house movie whitout subtitles
Very artistically.
Interesting!
That was helpful, Thaaank you💕
Dear Jade, good to see you, and you look fresh with that orange hair :)))
nice bonny
Very well done, even if she could not roll her rrrrr's. It is so hard that when Scots came to America even they stopped it.
It's interesting. Thank you.
This lesson is just on time, tnx. Not long ago I started to listen to A Scottish Podcast, I'm fascinated with this accent, it's so beautiful imo :) And the intonations are so nice!
Btw, you did a great job.
I can do the rolled 'r', but the rest of the pronunciation is sooo hard, I don't quite catch up.
Great lesson!!
Dialects are cool!
Do Indian English next!
