- 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 went 2 times in Scotland!
First time Island of skye and Inverness
Second time Edinburgh
I love Scotland ❤️❤️❤️
It seems that Scotts can easily learn Dutch.
NOW I understand where the "Canadian" "aboot" (about) comes from!! Scotland!!
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.
Rather iffy pronunciation of sassenach.
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 ;-)
Great lesson! I like to see you again in the positive mood. Cheers!
As a Brazilian (portuguese speaker) ,I understood the meaning of "Och aye"...so I can head to Aberdeen now...
thank you i shared it with my scottish friend and she laughed
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! 😃
Generally, when Scots speak, they sound like they are well pished off! 😁
Loved the video and your red hair! 😍
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
You are brilliant!! Thanks for the video
Thanks! I always appreciate your classes!
Todo lo mejor para ti profesora Jade !!!

I love the Scottish accent, is the best. I'm spanish talker and your "R" is lovely
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.
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
Very helpful and funny way to understand Scots better, thank you for this video! And thanks to the person who showed me the video :)
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

This is so cool. I’m learning Gaelic and England is sasainn. So sassenach for English people is so cool to know why!!
I've watched Outlander and Brave so 😛 thanks for the lesson

Good to see this video and the costume.
Ewan McGregor/Robert Carlyle (Trainspotting-1996) 😊👍
Very nice video.
Very nice lesson! Very artistic and fun!!! But so hard to memorize all these Scottishizms.
This is really just perfect.
Thanks engVid! Jade you're really cool and funny. I enjoy your teachs and jokes. Greetings from Argentina!
You're the best, Jade!
Ha! Thank you!
Well, why I'm watching this even though I'm quite intense IELTS(Academic English Exam) learner?

She reminds me of the science officer in mass effect andromeda
I enjoyed yes.
Thank you darling I've been in Scotland since 2018 but I'm still struggling with the Scottish accent.
Sounds like how to train your dragon accent. I like it!!
Wow!
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
Uploaded at perfect moment! Going to Edi in 3 days
Glad to see your new video
I don't know if this was done in jest. It comes across as quite funny.
Oh, the Pumuckl is still alive. The Pumuckl comes originally from Bavaria-Germany. Maybe he immigrated to Scotland in the 80's-
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.
Very interesting lesson. Thanks Jade!
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
It is similar in some ways to the Geordie accent ( Newcastle)
I hear some of the words come from The Dutch language. Interesting. Sounds even Dutch.
I'm only part Scottish, Irish, and Welsh so I'm trying to build an accent for myself. I have no accent sadly :((
I enjoyed a lot
Love it! 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

It's very interesring. Thank you.
l can't believe that how can you do that
Huge thanks Jade
I like your lessons ! Perfect!
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.
Thanks for this video. I loved it.
Can it be, that Sassenach is a word from the Gaelic and means an english speaker? The most Scottish people are speaking Scottish english ore Scotts (that's another thing like Scottish english), I think they are also told Sassenachs...
The ending "-ch" in Scottish english is not pronounced as "-k", as far as I know, it's spoken after "i-" ore "e-" as "-ich" like in Ipswich. And "Loch Lomond" is famos for his false pronounciation fro english people (with "-k")...
The rolling-R is not only a special thing in Scottland, it's also usual in many parts of England (the southwest, west and north) Only the middle and the east of England are not rolling the R.
In the scottish accent they don't hide the R, they pronounce it.
You're right, 'sassenach' is a Gaelic word. (There's a Scottish Gaelic course on Duolingo if you're interested 😊)
Sassenach IS from Gaelic, and it means Saxon.
I need to find a catchy comment because it's the first!
I'll just say that Scotland is cool.
I'm here because I'm curious about Merida's accent.
Interesting !!! 😉👍
I want to understand that acid house movie whitout subtitles
It's interesting. Thank you.
Id hae ye oer ma lap lass. Gee yea skeplit
why am i here i’m scottish
This is soooo cool and fun!!
Dear Jade, good to see you, and you look fresh with that orange hair :)))
Interesting!
It sounds like Norwegian and some words are the same.
I can’t roll my r’s either and my name is also Jade lmao
I physically CANNOT roll my r’s
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!!!!!😍
Very artistically.
Great lesson!!
nice bonny
