Learn english all your life
Would have been bad even if you went South. Brita can barely speak their own language. They mumble most of the words
>get british colleague
>he gets coffee
>i tell him no milk for me
>he comes back with milky coffee
>YOU SHOULDVE SAID NO CREAM
>every day during lunch he says "gotta call the misses" really quickly
>i tell everyone he keeps missing a call every time at lunch
>it takes a few weeks before i understand he was calling his wife
Tbh as far as accents here go, the Edinburgh one isn't very strong at all.
This. The worst ones are Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester.
no one says cream in the UK. also, the word for it is black.
Kill all Brits.
Only America still speaks REAL English.
Should have came to the United States, we speak the clearest and most understandable English. American English is the world's English, we don't make up silly slang or Frenchize our words.
>He learnt English (most likely RP) and then came to Scotland.
and I thought Asians were supposed to be smart?

*We dumbed-down the language
Fixed that for you lad.
If you can't understand an Edinburgh accent then you can't speak English. Johnnys like to bang on about how great their English is but can only understand that monotone drivel from the USA.
How did they dumb it down?
ACH. YAE CANNAE UNDERSTA DAE CAP'S BHOYS? GET TAE FOOK YAE BAWBAG.
get tae fuck ya fuckin wankstain
I'm from Edinburgh, not quite sure what your point is
Clearest and understandable are describing the accent. We pronounce our ERs, our accent is closer to the British accents back when we were colonies. You changed to sound like obnoxious cunts.
How the fuck is our English simplified? Because we throw out a useless o or u and use a z instead of an s? Fuck outta here
YE CANNAE CHANGE THE LAWS OF PHYSICS
>We pronounce our ERs
So do I, I used to think it was only lower class English that did this and only recently realised it's all English accents, the posh ones are just more subtle about it, kinda surprised me
>this meme again
Kek, do Amerisharts get taught this at school after their creationism class or something
Anyone who pronounces squirrel as "skwerl" cannot possibly claim that they speak English properly.
>Steam
>9gag
Opinion discarded.
How the fuck do you pronounce it then?
with two syllables, instead of butchering the word into one.
That would be like people complaining about not understanding some Andalusians after studying Spanish for years. Some accent just deviate too much from the standard.
B-but how else would you say it?
Record it and let us judge, Sir.
Don't hate yourself too much pekka, when I was in Glasgow for the commonwealth games I found myself second guessing what I heard when talking to people.
no
>our accent is closer to the British accents back when we were colonies. You changed to sound like obnoxious cunts.
>Mart-sharters still believe this
It's simple
British English sounds better
American English is more functional
I got it off another post on Sup Forums awhile ago. Nice dodge there Amerishart.
Not a record but what about youtu.be
squi-rrel
It's really not that difficult.
The Edinburgh accent is pretty much as standard as it gets though
>Shartglish
>not having silly slang
Bullshit. You faggots are responsible for dozens of terrible idioms based on terminology from your shit sports like gridiron and baseball.
>Butt-hurt Americans
Not a rare sight on this board, but still funny nonetheless.
Don't you mean tanned Briton, you racist nazi fuck.
My accent and several southern accents, especially on the north carolina coast are actually related to english that the first settlers spoke.

And it developed independently from there. Why is that so hard for you to grasp?
>Butt
Fuck off Yank
'cause of muh heritage.
>All fur coat and nae nickers.
I would kill too have an Edinburgh accent.
>He spells butt-hurt as but-hurt
That just looks gross lad.
>learn english
>visit bongland
>nobody understands my rally english
Damn.
A solution?
Yes butt. Two T's means an arse. "But" with only one T is the conjunction word.
>mfw imagining foreign britboos who love sherlock and dr. who coming to britain expecting us to all be well-mannered and handsome
>we don't make up silly slang or Frenchize our words.
Yeah that's where you went wrong mate.
Liverpool was much much easier than edinburgh
How to make the R sound not rolled in "squi-rrel" again?
Scottish sounds like French desu
You should've come to the US, we don't really have accents
tongue a bit further back in mouth, compared to the rolling r sound
>our accent is closer to the British accents back when we were colonies.
please stop propagating this meme
I just thought that you speak your mother tongue
I do things to your mothers tongue 2bqhwy
Well you didn't learn any Scots or Galic before going to Scotland did you?
Your accent sounds savagely
Brits sound soft even when they're pissed
youtu.be
>we don't really have accents
Did you really expect Scotland to speak English?
>live in UK
>invent retard language
Why do they do this?
I was suspicious before, now i'm sure.
>YOU SHOULDVE SAID NO CREAM
This didn't happen, you're a fucking liar.
As an Andalusian, this is true. I has an American friend over and she couldn't understand most of what people said even though the accent here isn't particularly strong (like in Cadiz or Sevilla).
Scots are subhumans, so this shouldn't have surprised you.
Love you too lad
luk m8 bris tak englsh like da rest a us
I've heard people from London and Glasgow speak and understand the latter was easier for me.
Manchester accent is the hardest one, to be honest. I have a friend from there and talking over a phone can get quite awkward at times.
Nah, Mancs are just whiny gets
Glasgow is sometimes incomprehensible and any old, rural person (from any part ofthe country) too
I struggle with people outside of the area because I can't be arsed with changing my accent from place to place
"Nah then, y'reight? Aye, 's'bin no' bad, ta", etc. = ??? from everyone outside of my area
Manchester accent sounds like they'r mumbling with their mouths closed.
Scottish was alright most of the time, but could get quite incomprehensible as well.

>Liverpool
Which one, there's like 6.
There's scouse, widnes, bootle, woolton queen's english, aigburth/cressington queens english, and that odd speke english.
That's not even getting into the blends from the african, asian, irish, american, polish and other communities around the place.
English orthography is all fucked up desu
>ear
>add th to it
>earth
>the two sound nothing alike
Whenever I hear "earth" I think either
>ööth if brit accent
>örth if american
t. cleetus

>natives of English language
yah moust djokin' m8
It comrs back from the mouth, almost from throat. But who cares, jus pronounce your natural way
I grew up in Kent and my uncle is Glaswegian
I remember going to see my cousins when I was about 7 and they were watching Rab C. Nesbitt, and I just remember standing there absolutely bewildered as to what the fuck was going on
I love listening to broad glaswegian accents now because half the fun is trying to decipher it, but it's one of the most difficult accents to understand in the whole country
