#Frostbit Boy Uncut "You Wouldn't Be Long Getting Frostbit!" - Ruairí McSorley (TURN ON CAPTIONS) |

Used to work with some Irish folks at Allied Irish Bank in NYC. They would always say, "oh we're definitely having the crack tonight." It means having fun.

Well, i ask because i have to go to Tralee. Last time my girlfriend went there; people would gather around her and make her talk. They'd say things like : "She talks like shes in the Movies". People would stop to hear her talk.
Said it was surreal. Thinking of bringing a Cowboy hat and spurs when i go to the pub; and say things with my best John Wayne accent: "What does a Yank have to do to get a cold one ? " |

This is a good question. I meet 2 guys that were fresh from Kilkenny in Toronto , they had come to find work.
We were both in the bar drinking and I could barely understand there accents . Guinness solved that . We both understood that. |

Any kind of British English accent is very annoying and very hard for me to understand. I would go crazy in a place like that.

Just remember to use Oi (sounds like the Oi in Oil ) in place of I. You will fit right in

Back in 2014 during my trip to London I got lost and asked someone for directions. The person was Scottish who was speaking English but I couldnt understand a word he was saying.

English, but very quickly and mostly using only the front of their mouths (.I.e. the tip of the tongue).

Good luck.

View Quote I can understand Irish speaking English but Scots seem to be speaking an entirely different language. |

Quoted: Not too sure what language they speak, but I'm bringing this guy along to translate (and help find the gold). https://mandammit.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/alabama.png?w=852&h=438&crop=1 View Quote Some good old fashioned Chrichton Jive. |

The government and documentaries will tell you a form of Gaelic but if you are in an area where they speak it from birth as a first language they always correct me and say it is called Irish.
So Irish and English. Now Scotland has Gaelic, English, and a third dialect of English that I have heard several linguist argue is technically another language called Scottish. |
|
I didn't have any trouble communicating with people in the cities or tourist areas.
I imagine its the same as the US. You get in certain areas and the local dialect changes. I've run across old hilljacks around here that I had a tough time understanding |
