You are totally right, the further north to travel in the UK the more friendly people become. I was born in Cumbria and grew up in Lancashire. I moved to Cambridge for work and people down here are definitely not as friendly. If you try and spark up a friendly conversation with someone in the grocery queue in London, they will look at you like you insulted their mother. Do the same in Scotland and they'll speak to you like they've known you all your life and you'll probably have a new friend.
There's a video where this man was drunk at a party went out for a cig and went back in the wrong house and fell asleep. Luckily the strangers gave him a cig and a brew lol. He helped himself to a pot noodle and kipped on the couch. There's a video on here.
As a Scotsman, having now lived in France for more than 38 years, I'm proud to say that I still understood everything my Scottish compatriots said. Thank you for a very entertaining 11+ minutes. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit.
@@davewilliams7515 What's wrong with moving away from Scotland but still being proud to be a Scot? Sometimes life (and love) decide where we live. Maybe you're too young ?
Me too. I´m a Glaswegian who has been living in Colombia for 18 years. The Scots are magic, and the accent is music to my ears. The weather's a wee bit better here, though. :-)
I love Scotland, it blew my mind that Scotland only has a population of around 5 million, but yet they have so much culture and heritage, really love to visit scotland again
It's an inbuilt defence mechanism, when it's either too cold or too wet to go outside you become highly educated in order to move somewhere warmer and drier, then frequently tell everyone how much you miss it and there's no place like it...🤣
I'm from Spain but lived in Scotland for 7 years. The happy friendly people is more a Glasgow thing than Scottish thing I would say. Scottish people are very friendly in general but Glasgow has a special positive energy. Edinburgh is the posh city, one of the most beutiful cities I've seen. Aberdeen is my favourite as it was my first destination and home for the first few years.
Glasgow - the only city in the world where the same person who stabs and mugs you calls you an ambulance ❤ One of the friendliest cities going but still has high crime 😅 Aye, I'm from Glasgow!!!
I'm sure theres plenty of great people, and I've never been myself so I wouldn't know, but err not really heard it referred to as friendly and beautiful lol
(American here) I spent a week in Glasgow maybe 15 years ago, and was floored by how friendly the people were - even though I could only understand them half the time haha. It's so true how no one even bothers with an umbrella - it rains so much they are just immune as that one person said. My host told me only tourists really use them 🤣I travelled a bit around the UK including London and I have to say Glasgow might not have been the "hippest" or most cosmo city I visited, but it was by far the friendliest! Very well kept too, I'd love to go back.
Went to Scotland at 2018. And it had caught me by surprise. Stunning and amazing country. I had the experience about travelling through some European countries and the countries themselves were beautiful and vivid, but the population… However Scottish people turned my experience into a magical one. They were even more friendly than Brazilians, actually. The best part of Scotland is the Scottish people. Edinburgh and Glasgow are two must destinations for those who visit the UK.
Sounds like folks in east maritimes of Canada or 东北人in China. Some people may think they are rude at first sight but deep down they are super friendly and fun to hang out with
I was born in the slums of Glasgow, 1948, left in 1966, and many decades later I went back to Glasgow, 1988, with my wife from California and I was her translator as she understood nothing any of my family said to her but they all loved her because they thought I had married a Movie Star because she came from Los Angeles though we lived in San Francisco... I started back into the dialect after being there for a week. You can take the boy out of the slums, but you have to take the slums out of the boy. We say what we mean and we mean what we say... Direct... Och yerbumsootraewindae..... sort that one out mate.
I was born in a muddy village at the edge of a desert, left the place long ago and there's no single night my heart long to go back and settle their with my people where we have our own accent, rules and culture. You can leave the place of your origin but you it never leaves your heart, like never.
As a foreigner, after 1 year of studying in England for my Masters degree I thought I was able to speak and understand English fairly decently.....until I went to Inverness.....and then I understood why Italians use their hands when they speak, so I took after them and I used my hands to the fullest extent in an attempt to get my messages across when speaking to locals...the funny thing is that I did not need that, as they understood me; it was me who didn't understand them, but when you don't understand what other people say, you tend to think that they don't understand you either......Scottish people are as lovely as it gets, but as a foreigner you need a "black belt" in English to be able to speak with them and understand half of what they are saying; the other half is local slang which you either need to be there for some time to pick it or you simply won't get it. Also being able to be subjected to banter and drink like a maniac are what you need. No Masters degree required ! 😁
@@mihailfelixdumitresc The mistake you (and many others) make is in thinking that what you get to hear in Scotland is English. Even in Inverness, which is a place where people only started learning English as a second language in the late 19th century, half of what you are hearing is not English. It will be Scots - not "local slang", but a sister language to English that has 1000 years of developing differently and has different linguistic origins. It's like having learned Standard Spanish and then expecting to understand everything in Portugal or in Italy.
@@mihailfelixdumitresc : Visit Alabama or Mississippi, Georgia or Texas if you want to hear another version of spoken English. Im Scottish and I have a hard time understanding them.

Man I’ve lived in London for almost 15 years and seeing people this friendly in Scotland took me by surprise. People in London are extremely rude and aggressive most of the time. I haven’t travelled enough I’d say in the UK but will definitely go and see different places soon. Great video.
There are no Londoners left in London, but they used to be very friendly. If you went to a market the cockney men would call ever woman they served love or darling. But this was frowned upon by the newcomers and there are now no cockney left there. Though to be fair all large cities are unfriendly places, my wife is from Paris and it's the same there. Though as soon as you go out into the countryside people are much more friendly whatever country you are in, it's a city thing.
Yeah I'm an American who lived in London for 8 years before I visited Scotland. The people of Edinburgh, Glasgow and the Highlands were so nice it was like being on a different planet. Great for the soul.
Glad you had a great time! It's always interesting to see how our culture is viewed and appreciated from another perspective, Hope the rest of your visit here in Scotland is just as lovely :)
What I love about this is that when they translate the slang into what is supposed to be a common word, the common word is also slang to you 😂 like “steamin” to “boozin”, or “lump ah wood” to “no very bright” lol
Funny, I'm a Scottish lady who has been living in Hong Kong for 20 years & right now I just got a wee bit homesick for Scotland! 😅& yeah, I won't use an umbrella in Hong Kong unless the rain is quite heavy 😂 I get some funny looks, it's just the Scot in me! If you hit the East coast, it's much less rainy!
@@woshisuo I know some Cantonese, enough to manage simple everyday things. I get better when I practice but lots of HK friends & collegues will just speak to me in English so I get lazy. I have a few European friends who are fluent in Canto!
My partner is Scottish, but he came here in Australia when he was 13 years old. Hearing him talk to his parents in their accent is mind-blowing. I love their accent, the way they talk, and their English terms.
Lols welcome to Scotland, my home town! Watch u guys all the time! U guys are a great couple! Scottish people are amazing and friendliest of all! Enjoy the whisky!
Aww this makes me so happy and beaming inside! ☺ I'm so proud to be Scottish and a weegie from Glasgow! This is the first video I've ever watched of yours and the title actually caught my eye. I now live and work in Hong Kong and it's so nice to be reminded of my roots. Glasgow is the best but so is Hong Kong too for different reasons.
My wife and I were in Scotland over 30 years ago. I still have the fondest memories of the people and culture of Edinburgh, Inverness, and especially Glasgow. Some day we'll return.
Bro, you wondered round my home city. I can factually confirm all of what my fellow "weegies" telt you was all absolutely correct. Albeit, the turn of phrase we use is sooooo much more diverse and creative than one could hope to learn on holiday. But I definitely enjoyed how you seemed to have such a great time in Glasgow. Love from Scotland 🏴 👊🏼
The phrase origin “steaming” was from when alcohol was banned. Except you could drink on steamboats. So people would do just that hence the phrase. Glad you had fun in Glasgow. I hold it dear to my heart.
@@gingerfellah5665 no they travelled along the rivers to the resorts on steamboats. Alcohol wasn't banned, just restricted to certain times and days. Day trips for the working class were a thing, charabancs, but that wasn't holidays. Workers got decent hols. Glesga Fair, onywan?
I'm an American with some Scottish ancestry. I visited Scotland for 12 days in 2006, and it was so beautiful. Great people. They know how to live,... and have contributed much to modern civilization as well.
Went to Scotland many years ago for my Master's degree. People there are so lovely and pationated as you mentioned. And really it took me 6 month to understand one of my classmates' English for around 50%....haha
I come from a town near Glasgow and I can say the best part of uni was meeting people from every corner of the globe, it was the most incredible experience.
Glasgow is used in lots of films, the big attack scene in World War Z was filmed in George Square and it was also used in The Batman as parts of Gotham Just a wee tip with the subtitles, in Scotland, Whisky has no "e" in it (as you can see on the bottle)
The more I watched this video the more similarities I found between Scotland and Mexico. Friendly people, they like to hang out and drink, No ID's required. I was 16 the first time I went to a night club here in Morelia, Mexico. Warm regards to Scottish people.
As someone born and bred in Glasgow of many generations I am floored by this wonderful video and all the kind comments. Really, honestly, heartfelt thanks,
Actually the Scottish is not only friendly, but also diligent and practical in workplace ( Englishmen always work in free style ) cos I had met a teacher from Scotland before.
@Michael Doolan nope. Not since 1960s have stabbings been common. And even then it tended to be Glasgow. And usually gang related. There was a Criminal Code of Conduct that innocents didn't get caught up. As to English... If you watch Scottish TV News items half the folk being interviewed are English people wanting to get out of the rat race. Maybe it was just you.
I’m from the U.S. and I just love their accents. I have a southern American accent. People have a hard time with our accent too, but we sound far less eloquent 😂
may i tell you something so that you appreciate your southern accent more ...now dont get me wrong depending on what type of southern accent you have you might not sound as poetic as you might in another type of southern accent ..but its subjective anyways how you hear an accent it all depends on wether you associate the accent with somethig you veiw as prestigous or exotic or rustic or noble endjucated or lower class ...and its sad because your missing out i for example have a lower class english accent and americans labour under the delusion im speaking the kings ...and i know some highly articuate americans southern old boys with such textured southern accents who sound ever so eloquent...americans seem to be incapable of hearing accents from england scotland wales ireland or northern ireland without associating something incredibly exotic sophisticated and noble with it even if one sounds like one comes from a sink estate and even if they do think you sound like a british alleycat they still think it sounds ever so quaint and somehow cleverer then someone from detroit ...dont get me wrong its no skin off of my back its comforting to know if im ever hard up on postive attention i can fly to the statse one really feels like a lowkey celebrity in america with a british accent ..but it does show how insular and detached american culture is from europe and the uk and ireland ...
dude, you're cool! subscribing. i didn't see any vids about the Philippines in your channel. hope you get to visit here soon. we'll be visiting HK again next year. i have friends from Scotland (Aberdeen) who have relocated here and I can say their swally lifestyle has rubbed off on me. we get tanked almost everyday - start drinking at 9 in the evening and adjourn by 5 or 6 AM.
Back in the day, in 1985, I got to live in Hong Kong for a year, and your way of speaking and switching between English and Cantonese reminds me of those lovely folks there. It was different then. I enjoyed your edition of the video very much. Keep up the good work.
Aw, I'm so glad you loved Glasgow. We really do have a lot of slang for going drinking / getting drunk / being drunk. 😆 To be fair, Glaswegian is a dialect that's somewhere between English and Scots, so challenging for even native English speakers sometimes.
@Tamara Samaniego If you call a company in the UK especially banks its usually a Glaswegian womans voice they use for the automatic hello/options etc before you get through to a staff member. Even then chances are the staff member is in Glasgow alot of call centres here. I used to work for a mobile phone operator and when the iPhone first launched it was only available from one company ( ours ) and Apple wanted all iPhone calls to go through Glasgow. Supposedly it's the most trust worthy and authoritive accent in the UK, obviously we don't use slang but lol
Amazingly I enjoyed this and I'm from Edinburgh - fair play to all the weegies involved in this, ye dun yersel's and the country proud !. P.s Torres - just a small point, in Scotland it's 'Whisky' - 'whiskey' is the Irish stuff !
The Glaswegian accent is the hardest to in Scotland. Especially if you're drinking with them!! Btw, I understood every word before you added the subtitles, mostly because I've got family in Scotland!!
Studied in Glasgow 10 years ago. Always wanted to go back to visit. Just one year is enough to make me feel it's my second hometown. That's how nice it was for me.
Gotta say I'm impressed by how they still preserve their strong accent.... part of their heritage that they are very proud of!! To a much lesser extent, ppl in HK also preserve their way of speaking English... can't suddenly expect them to speak like the British/Americans if they don't have that exposure or opportunity
This actually isn’t shocking at all in the context of Britain Note how US accents, Australian accents, Canadian accents etc. will differ between several states, but England alone has accents differing per county. This is because of the historical context; it was not the “Anglo-Saxons” who settled, but instead it was similar to the rest of Europe in which everyone was scattered following the fall of Western Rome. These tribes and clans held their own territories, but most interestingly, they never changed drastically at all, likely due to being an island. The other countries I mentioned above however, had very consistent settlement by Englishmen as the majority, so instead of a bunch of foreigners learning to speak with eachother, they were just Anglos abroad. A great example is Newcastle, Geordies use Scandinavian words, and for context, this means that Newcastle’s accent has been present before England even united as a country in 927, stemming from around 867 during the Viking invasions.
I got a chance to learn a wee bit of the Scottish culture through a friend. He's a Scotsman who got married to a Mexican woman. He came to Mexico, we became friends and we would get steaming at least three times a week. Good times, Stevie, good times, mate!
I agree: the further north you go in Britain, the warmer people are. The people in the south aren't bad, they're just more private, less expressive, generally speaking. London is a case all its own. I've met lots of wonderful, friendly people in England (and I have beloved relatives there) and the warmest people I met were from Sunderland.
What a great video full of respect to Scottish people. Spent some time working in Aberdeen, visited Edinburgh. Great people, still have many friends!! Aaaaaaand... lady saying that Aberdonians have less strong accent - NOPE )))
I live in the far south west of England, my best friend when I was 4 in 1983 was a Scottish kid called John who moved here when he was 2, he just sounded like me, but his mum had and still has THE deepest Scottish accent I've ever heard. The reason I can understand even the deepest Scottish accent to this day is because of her lol
The gentleman at 7:33, I think, actually said "Somebody, my pal, said yesterday; [he] went 'Aye, see that shop around the corner? It's on its arse!'" The Scottish 'Somebody' almost omits that 'o' syllable in some dialects, particularly Glaswegian, so it sounds more like "sumb-dy" when spoken. I'm impressed how close you got to what he actually said though. I'm from Scotland and, while I understood it immediately, it took me a couple runs to figure out what words he used!
Really enjoyed this video as a life ling Weegie (Glaswegian) myself, im so pleased to see how friendly everyone was to you, we pride ourselfs on being welcoming, kind and affable 😊 hope you get the chance to gisit again soon, if you do let me know and i will reccomend some cool places for you to visit!
Even the subtitles didn't manage to pick up what that guy was saying at the end. It translated one word as "when...." What he actually said was; "He went..." (which means 'he said.') But even some Scots would have missed that!

I love Scotland🏴🇲🇻, very friendly environment and very interesting to learn the culture. I like this video. Cool man, awesome, cheers.
As an alcoholic frenchman, the few days I passed in Scotland were amazing. It felt like I finally found the place to be.
That girl at 4:00 is SO LOVELY. As a Londoner I love Scotland so much and I am proud to be their neighbour 😁😁
Funny, I'm a Scottish lady who has been living in Hong Kong for 20 years & right now I just got a wee bit homesick for Scotland! 😅& yeah, I won't use an umbrella in Hong Kong unless the rain is quite heavy 😂 I get some funny looks, it's just the Scot in me! If you hit the East coast, it's much less rainy!
那你在香港生活这么多年，已经学会粤语或者普通话了吗？如果学会粤语还是很厉害的。
@@woshisuo I know some Cantonese, enough to manage simple everyday things. I get better when I practice but lots of HK friends & collegues will just speak to me in English so I get lazy. I have a few European friends who are fluent in Canto!
My partner is Scottish, but he came here in Australia when he was 13 years old. Hearing him talk to his parents in their accent is mind-blowing. I love their accent, the way they talk, and their English terms.
Their whit!!!
You’re a great traveler, open to trying things and chatting with people. I enjoyed coming along with you.

Lols welcome to Scotland, my home town! Watch u guys all the time! U guys are a great couple! Scottish people are amazing and friendliest of all! Enjoy the whisky!
Aww this makes me so happy and beaming inside! ☺ I'm so proud to be Scottish and a weegie from Glasgow! This is the first video I've ever watched of yours and the title actually caught my eye. I now live and work in Hong Kong and it's so nice to be reminded of my roots. Glasgow is the best but so is Hong Kong too for different reasons.
I think its amazing and special that so many restaurants are still family owned and not big chains!
My wife and I were in Scotland over 30 years ago. I still have the fondest memories of the people and culture of Edinburgh, Inverness, and especially Glasgow. Some day we'll return.
Bro, you wondered round my home city.
I can factually confirm all of what my fellow "weegies" telt you was all absolutely correct. Albeit, the turn of phrase we use is sooooo much more diverse and creative than one could hope to learn on holiday.
But I definitely enjoyed how you seemed to have such a great time in Glasgow.
Love from Scotland 🏴 👊🏼
The phrase origin “steaming” was from when alcohol was banned. Except you could drink on steamboats. So people would do just that hence the phrase.
Glad you had fun in Glasgow. I hold it dear to my heart.
Just had to fact-check that and it's true! (It was banned after 11pm and on Sundays and has a few more details!)
@@gingerfellah5665 no they travelled along the rivers to the resorts on steamboats. Alcohol wasn't banned, just restricted to certain times and days. Day trips for the working class were a thing, charabancs, but that wasn't holidays. Workers got decent hols. Glesga Fair, onywan?
Steam boats in Glasgow ? That was in America 🤷
Im trying to bring in " a diabolical anhiliation" for getting on the sesh, spread the word.
@@belindakennedy5828 plenty of steamboats in Glasgow. It was a shipbuilding city.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I found Scottish ppl are so lovely and crazy from this video
I want to visit Scotland now! People are so sweet ❤
I'm an American with some Scottish ancestry. I visited Scotland for 12 days in 2006, and it was so beautiful. Great people. They know how to live,... and have contributed much to modern civilization as well.
Highest drug use in Europe. Thay have fallen
You should have come in 1976 , it was sunny then 😂
@@tbrown4080 I checked that... It's other countries now according to what I found....
Scotland is number one for drug users in Europe currently.@@numbers7n
@@tbrown4080it's one thing being negative but it's another being wrong. 0/10 for effort.
终于！我最亲爱的格拉斯哥！谢谢托哥带我回顾了一遍我人生中最爱的城市，people make Glasgow！
Went to Scotland many years ago for my Master's degree. People there are so lovely and pationated as you mentioned. And really it took me 6 month to understand one of my classmates' English for around 50%....haha
I come from a town near Glasgow and I can say the best part of uni was meeting people from every corner of the globe, it was the most incredible experience.
Glasgow is used in lots of films, the big attack scene in World War Z was filmed in George Square and it was also used in The Batman as parts of Gotham
Just a wee tip with the subtitles, in Scotland, Whisky has no "e" in it (as you can see on the bottle)
it does if its Irish
The more I watched this video the more similarities I found between Scotland and Mexico. Friendly people, they like to hang out and drink, No ID's required. I was 16 the first time I went to a night club here in Morelia, Mexico. Warm regards to Scottish people.
Si si
yeah hang out and drink like 99% of people of the world haha
True. I'm Scottish and my best mate is from Guadalajara. He moved here 5 years ago and has very easily integrated with the language and humour.
Omg no way, that’s such a lovely video about Glasgow. Thanks for showing it from a nice point of view 😊 and aye we love to drink 😬
I'm from Manchester and have always liked the scots. got lots of scottish family & friends. Kindred spirits.
This has gotta be one of the best vlogs looking at language. Aye! I love it! Keep it up mate.
TH-cam brought me this video randomly and man I could not stop smiling and laughing. People in Scotland have such great energy.
My best boss in Azerbaijan was Scottish
As someone born and bred in Glasgow of many generations I am floored by this wonderful video and all the kind comments. Really, honestly, heartfelt thanks,
拜託再多拍多介紹蘇格蘭，我真的好好奇！
Actually the Scottish is not only friendly, but also diligent and practical in workplace ( Englishmen always work in free style ) cos I had met a teacher from Scotland before.
What's that in English?🏴
@Michael Doolan nope. Not since 1960s have stabbings been common. And even then it tended to be Glasgow. And usually gang related. There was a Criminal Code of Conduct that innocents didn't get caught up.
As to English... If you watch Scottish TV News items half the folk being interviewed are English people wanting to get out of the rat race. Maybe it was just you.
@Michael Doolan Completely untrue.
@Michael Doolan yes and they would love ppl who say this to them. Hmm
Doae ye ken th’leid? 🙄
I’m from the U.S. and I just love their accents. I have a southern American accent. People have a hard time with our accent too, but we sound far less eloquent 😂
may i tell you something so that you appreciate your southern accent more ...now dont get me wrong depending on what type of southern accent you have you might not sound as poetic as you might in another type of southern accent ..but its subjective anyways how you hear an accent it all depends on wether you associate the accent with somethig you veiw as prestigous or exotic or rustic or noble endjucated or lower class ...and its sad because your missing out i for example have a lower class english accent and americans labour under the delusion im speaking the kings ...and i know some highly articuate americans southern old boys with such textured southern accents who sound ever so eloquent...americans seem to be incapable of hearing accents from england scotland wales ireland or northern ireland without associating something incredibly exotic sophisticated and noble with it even if one sounds like one comes from a sink estate and even if they do think you sound like a british alleycat they still think it sounds ever so quaint and somehow cleverer then someone from detroit ...dont get me wrong its no skin off of my back its comforting to know if im ever hard up on postive attention i can fly to the statse one really feels like a lowkey celebrity in america with a british accent ..but it does show how insular and detached american culture is from europe and the uk and ireland ...
long sounds and big hearts are different. a big heart says all.
I just ran across this and wanted to say I like your energy keep it up!
Scottish people are the friendliest nation I’ve ever seen. ❤
dude, you're cool! subscribing. i didn't see any vids about the Philippines in your channel. hope you get to visit here soon. we'll be visiting HK again next year.
i have friends from Scotland (Aberdeen) who have relocated here and I can say their swally lifestyle has rubbed off on me. we get tanked almost everyday - start drinking at 9 in the evening and adjourn by 5 or 6 AM.
Back in the day, in 1985, I got to live in Hong Kong for a year, and your way of speaking and switching between English and Cantonese reminds me of those lovely folks there. It was different then. I enjoyed your edition of the video very much. Keep up the good work.
I had a scottish grandpa who spoke glasweigan and it's pretty similar to this lol
Aw, I'm so glad you loved Glasgow. We really do have a lot of slang for going drinking / getting drunk / being drunk. 😆
To be fair, Glaswegian is a dialect that's somewhere between English and Scots, so challenging for even native English speakers sometimes.
I'm from Argentina and I am obsessed with the accent, canny beat a glesga accent 🥰
@Tamara Samaniego If you call a company in the UK especially banks its usually a Glaswegian womans voice they use for the automatic hello/options etc before you get through to a staff member. Even then chances are the staff member is in Glasgow alot of call centres here. I used to work for a mobile phone operator and when the iPhone first launched it was only available from one company ( ours ) and Apple wanted all iPhone calls to go through Glasgow. Supposedly it's the most trust worthy and authoritive accent in the UK, obviously we don't use slang but lol
Did Scottish girl also rum with whisky....
❤❤❤❤ take my heart with you
Jenlavery come to Bali, you willi havva a lot Deffa cultura Atta, Shoulda trya One a lifa
The Word fuck is originally from Scotland from the 16th century .... Proud of that tbf 😂😂
I never knew that, cheers!
Long life to Scott ! ! ❤❤ and thanks for the video
Seeing a typical Italian gentleman speaking with a Scottish accent with a slight Italian touch broke my brain 🤯🤪
這一集太棒了. 我從頭笑到尾
Torres thanks for visiting Malaysia 🇲🇾 in your last trip. Great challenge listening to Scotland language.
Scottish language?
I like how the kid said, "I'm immune." lolol
she was cute, if anyone knows her at...?
very nice content! Thank you for giving us insights into cultural and language aspects of the places you travel to !
Amazingly I enjoyed this and I'm from Edinburgh - fair play to all the weegies involved in this, ye dun yersel's and the country proud !. P.s Torres - just a small point, in Scotland it's 'Whisky' - 'whiskey' is the Irish stuff !
HA HA - I'm from Glasgow, but living in Hong Kong. I love that your channel has come up on my TH-cam!!!!!
那你在香港生活这么多年，已经学会粤语或者普通话了吗？如果学会粤语还是很厉害的。
your channel made my day, thank you bud
這一篇真的很好笑，超讚，無意中在泰國旅遊時看到Torres的影片，非常有趣。
Oh wow I've just spent a week here on a business trip haha. Enjoyed practising chinese with some great people there!
omg i didnt know Scottish are so CUTE!!! the boy who says he's immune to the rain omgg they are all so cutee
The Glaswegian accent is the hardest to in Scotland. Especially if you're drinking with them!! Btw, I understood every word before you added the subtitles, mostly because I've got family in Scotland!!
Lingoda is great , I use it because of you Torres. THanks
Studied in Glasgow 10 years ago. Always wanted to go back to visit. Just one year is enough to make me feel it's my second hometown. That's how nice it was for me.
Aww that's lovely. Where are you from?
Gotta say I'm impressed by how they still preserve their strong accent.... part of their heritage that they are very proud of!! To a much lesser extent, ppl in HK also preserve their way of speaking English... can't suddenly expect them to speak like the British/Americans if they don't have that exposure or opportunity
lmao thats one way to put it. Never thought of it this way. Thanks for the perspective
After seeing all the people in the world, I still like the Chinese people the most, the kindest and the most cultural
I don't think they think of it as an accent. It's just the way people speak.
This actually isn’t shocking at all in the context of Britain
Note how US accents, Australian accents, Canadian accents etc. will differ between several states, but England alone has accents differing per county. This is because of the historical context; it was not the “Anglo-Saxons” who settled, but instead it was similar to the rest of Europe in which everyone was scattered following the fall of Western Rome. These tribes and clans held their own territories, but most interestingly, they never changed drastically at all, likely due to being an island. The other countries I mentioned above however, had very consistent settlement by Englishmen as the majority, so instead of a bunch of foreigners learning to speak with eachother, they were just Anglos abroad.
A great example is Newcastle, Geordies use Scandinavian words, and for context, this means that Newcastle’s accent has been present before England even united as a country in 927, stemming from around 867 during the Viking invasions.
@@XXXTENTAClON227 most celtic things that we take as Scottish/Irish/Welsh actually started with vikings
I got a chance to learn a wee bit of the Scottish culture through a friend. He's a Scotsman who got married to a Mexican woman. He came to Mexico, we became friends and we would get steaming at least three times a week. Good times, Stevie, good times, mate!
I can tell from you speaking you're starting to pick up a Scottish accent. Pure dead brilliant! fandabidozi!
托哥，影片太短啦…..剛剛看到影片分享威士忌立刻去搜尋🤣謝謝你總是分享很多國家不同的文化，讓我們這種有家庭的人不能這樣自由自在出國也可以了解到很多事情
acho que não meu
Have been studying in Glasgow for just a year, and it's definitely a super lovely place with all the friendliest ppl around😃
glad you’re enjoying it
I agree: the further north you go in Britain, the warmer people are. The people in the south aren't bad, they're just more private, less expressive, generally speaking. London is a case all its own. I've met lots of wonderful, friendly people in England (and I have beloved relatives there) and the warmest people I met were from Sunderland.
Just returned from Glasgow after spending one year there. Miss the place so bad, except the weather. People are so great and hilarious
Make me want to go to Scotland 😂 thanks for the video!
What a great video full of respect to Scottish people. Spent some time working in Aberdeen, visited Edinburgh. Great people, still have many friends!! Aaaaaaand... lady saying that Aberdonians have less strong accent - NOPE )))
Loved this video!! Bring yersel back and do some more in the Bonnie Bonnie land ✌🏼
I love glasgow! I love the people! Miss you guys so much! cant wait to visit again
You drank that whisky like a professional glad you had a good time in Glasgow I miss my hometown
This is such a cool video, love hearing the difference in the accents.
Yo these people are so chill, and the town is beautiful…
I live in the far south west of England, my best friend when I was 4 in 1983 was a Scottish kid called John who moved here when he was 2, he just sounded like me, but his mum had and still has THE deepest Scottish accent I've ever heard. The reason I can understand even the deepest Scottish accent to this day is because of her lol
The gentleman at 7:33, I think, actually said "Somebody, my pal, said yesterday; [he] went 'Aye, see that shop around the corner? It's on its arse!'"
The Scottish 'Somebody' almost omits that 'o' syllable in some dialects, particularly Glaswegian, so it sounds more like "sumb-dy" when spoken.
I'm impressed how close you got to what he actually said though. I'm from Scotland and, while I understood it immediately, it took me a couple runs to figure out what words he used!
Thank you
you got it so right
I'm from Glasgow and I rarely drink too and I have to agree with Taylor when she said she would have around 30 drinks.
the moment you speak cantonese, i was totally astonished and surprised!!!🤣🤣🤣
Really enjoyed this video as a life ling Weegie (Glaswegian) myself, im so pleased to see how friendly everyone was to you, we pride ourselfs on being welcoming, kind and affable 😊 hope you get the chance to gisit again soon, if you do let me know and i will reccomend some cool places for you to visit!
Graduated from University of Glasgow 10 years ago. Thank you for showing me Glasgow what it looks today.
You’re welcome mate
Even the subtitles didn't manage to pick up what that guy was saying at the end. It translated one word as "when...." What he actually said was; "He went..." (which means 'he said.') But even some Scots would have missed that!
