all right folks how's it going hope
you're well welcome to Sean vlog this is
my daily You Tube vlogging channel
although today I'm doing something a wee
bit different I I'm gonna be talking
about Scotland now a lot of you guys
already know I am doing a trip in a
couple of weeks time to America it is a
cultural exchange with the US Embassy to
America and in preparation for that trip
I thought I'd do a couple of episodes of
Sean says right here on my channel where
I discuss
Scottish culture as a way to kind of get
Americans involved in the channel a bit
more can explain things about Scotland
there are we a bit different I don't
have any kind of good props or
backgrounds and that to make it Scotland
although I've got my brilliant tart and
Scotland football shot for you know 1998
I think it was and on the first video of
the series I want to talk about Scottish
accents now I want to first of all give
a shout out to a few other Scottish
youtubers who have been doing videos
like this for quite a long time already
the first is Aaron also known as Beauty
Clete online I'll put a link to our
channel down below she's been doing
Scottish accent venules for a very long
time and I would also like to give a
shout out to more school moon Nikki
Lurie Scottish last who it does a
brilliant job of explaining all the kind
of Scottish cultural things on her
channel I am just starting out in this
world it's new for me I think it would
be fun because here I'm Scottish I will
be able to share with you guys some of
the things about my country that not
everybody knows the culture accents
language so let's get to it the Scottish
accent tag so a lot of people when they
come to Scotland they might hear really
really harsh accents and get put off
people don't realize that we have so
many different accents in Scotland the
west coast and east coast are worlds
apart when it comes to how we speak so
the Edinburgh accent is basically my
accent I am from Edinburgh I was born
and bred here I am probably a typical
Edinburgh accent example right strippers
in Edinburgh we speak a wee bit softer
than they do in Glasgow but we do speak
a bit like as if we've got a kind of a
ganar mouth it's a wee bit more rounded
if you like Glasgow's not like that I
will get to that there's two ways to
explain a demur accent the first of all
is the kind of harsher side of Edinburgh
I like to call it the George Street
accent of Edinburgh it's a very soft
accent the type that you think the
person has spent a lot of time in London
and by the way that is probably
something a little bit similar to my
accent I used to have a very very harsh
accent however I lived for five years in
London and I have lived on and off in
Brazil
for a long time so if I kept my very
harsh and amber accent not many people
would understand me so I have lost over
the years I think Al Murray the comedian
also known as the pub landlord nailed
the Edinburgh accent then you have the
Scotsman who sounds like he's having his
genitals rubbed with a warm wet chamois
leather the typical Edinburgh accent
that you will see here in the tone is
how can I see a little bit harsher right
when I grew up here in Edinburgh there
was a lot of slang words I used to use
in my everyday speech that I probably do
not use very often anymore I'm going to
say exactly how I might've spoke when I
was younger growing up here in Edinburgh
notion what do you do that for you dodge
you're a pure bum I'm away to get some
scram I'm gonna chill that off for you
over on the west coast they speak are
wee bit higher higher pitch and a wee
bit faster and I'm not very good at that
guy's regional accent but so we but like
I don't know why I'm soft like this
you're not mean you're pure pressure on
by the way look at you a space cadet I
William Bell your heat gun yourself big
man by the way something like that no
exactly right bias along those lines
they like to sing when they speak
English go right I went to the Scottish
accent pack which is basically something
there not many people did by adding the
do it on her Channel and there's a list
of questions for me to answer relating
to my accent and how I speak and I
thought it'd be a wee bit fun for this
vlog something different you'll get a
kind of good idea about how I speak over
all I'm gonna say them right now but er
laura7 women twiddle cupen tube dog more
so are Scotland our heat when the
aluminium bar gala Glasgow stupid purple
status card potato tonight clothes
bottle I'm gonna put those words down
below but that's basically how I say
them my version is Scottish pronounces
the t's quite strongly so Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles how about that for you I
think it's quite normal here we we
pronounce all rings dancing swearing
yeah we see rings normally pretty much
maybe a bit of an emphasis on the G at
the end I would say brilliant brilliant
or amazing or if I was younger I might I
said bra but of a Scottish word
therefore you probably just beautiful
beautiful I what word would I use to
describe something bad
shite what word would I use to describe
someone who is dirty
probably Megan what word would I use to
describe someone
who doesn't smile probably bought an old
bus though our favorite slang Scottish
what it's a bit of an insult but we use
it even to talk to our friends barback
what I call just I call just just we
used the word just to describe
everything whether that is soda pop
fizzy juice fruit juice anything that
isn't water coffee or tea is pretty much
just for us what do I call the thing
that we use to change the channel on the
TV
now there's something it would usually
be remotes right we would say where's
the remote
but in my house I don't know if anyone
else does this we caught the Duda what
do I call gym shoes trainers think what
do I call my grandparents granny and
Grandpa so there you go I have completed
the Scottish accent tag I hope you
enjoyed this video if you are new to the
channel I am a daily youtube vlogger I
upload videos about my life and travel

kind of set to camera and talk about
whatever is on my mind and as I say I'm
going to America to do a cultural
exchange really soon so until that time
