I met once with an American and he told me: "I came to Scotland and after three days I've discovered, they speak English too!"

One time I tried doing a Scottish accent in front of a Scotsman, he told me it was "pretty good" but I "made too much sense."

I sat across the table from a drunk Irish man having a heated conversation with a drunk Scott, I didn't understand one word of what they said, but I listened for 20 minutes! 😂🤣

Interesting. We have a word in German that sounds like 'drisht', 'trist' and it means the same. Probably a relict from the Vikings then. :D

And here I am from Eastern Europe and whenever I speak in english people think I'm a vampire... XD

I'm from Alberta and when I first spoke to Newfie family with a very strong Newfoundland accent, I kept thinking they sounded Irish but also Canadian. Had no clue they were from Newfoundland until they said (while laughing quite a bit since they knew how strong their accents were to many). You can certainly tell there are Irish roots in the Maritime provinces because I've noticed a lot of pronunciation similarities between them and the Irish. It's pretty dang cool. I adore the Scottish and Irish accents (ALL of them). I'd love to travel there someday. Thanks for sharing your missionary memories with us, Elder.

Understanding accents is about exposure and patience. Not being in a hurry, and not getting upset. And about the speaker having patience and not getting upset because someone doesnt understand him. Language, like everything else in life, is about cooperation, compromise, tolerance, and willingness to learn/assist.

Fantastic, man! Youve definitely captured the *Sco'ish* accent. I had an ear-to-ear smile listening to you. I heard my long gone step gran dad and got the chills.

Coming from Northern Ireland, family down south, and now living in Scotland, I know the accents very well - this guys attempts aren't half bad! Although Cork is south not west Ireland!!

The word is 'dreich'. Also, plenty of Scottish accents sing, and some Scots and Irish accents are quite similar, due to shared Gaelic heritage and Scots settlers in Ulster. The biggest mistake non-Scots and non-Irish make is underestimating the accent variations in both lands, despite being small. It's therefore inappropriate to use accent in the singular. In Scotland (where I come from), each of the 4 cities have completely different accents, and you can throw in the Borders, Ayrshire, Perth, Inverness, the Highlands, outer Isles, Orkney and Shetland as all having distinct accents (and verging on dialect). The Scottish accent most commonly imitated is the Glasgow one, which is, ironically, one of the youngest and least typical in Scotland as a whole, since it is influenced by Irish and Highland settlers, and has very few old Scots words (ok, you can say 'dreich', but try saying 'ken' for know, and folk will just stare at you). It's sounds like the accent Mel Gibson attempts in Braveheart (no' that bad, but crap film), but set in the 13th century, entirely inappropriate.

Two of the best accents I think

That's a decent-enough Scottish sound, straight off the top - and you look the part of a Glasgow dock worker, besides! Btw you learnt your slang right well, ken? Well done, then! 😁

A lot of people cannot do Irish accents at all (especially Americans, I've noticed- not hating, just saying!) but your accent was really good! And your Northern Irish accent was better than mine- and I've lived in (South) Ireland my whole life! 😂

Nah, not really. At schools in my country (Poland) they teach you to speak slowly, very official, nothing about the slang or the way normal people speak (not using the whole sentences, using shortcuts etc and a lot of random accents), all records for learning are also not realistic (because seriously, who's speaking like that). And even if you think you've learned language well, you travel to Ireland or Scotland, you're having mindfuck and understand 1/4 of what people say, you have to ask them to repeat what they say 100 times, and beg them to speak slowly. The only way to REALLY learn language is watching movies and reading books in original language, and (the most important) living in the country for couple of months, because normal education is school is a joke.
