The Scots language - by an English polyglot

Curious about the Scots language - its history and what it&like? As an English polyglot, I wanted to experience learning a language closely related to English. I signed up for a three week course and was pleased to find my friend Richard Simcott was a classmate. In this video, I take an informative and humourous look at the history of Scots and its relationship to English (they are sisters separated at birth but strongly influencing each other in later life). I then share my favourite bits of the pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar of Scots. Fellow polyglot, Richard Simcott and I then get together to discuss our experiences of learning Scots, and, in Richard&case, Ladino, Frisian, Scandinavian languages and Bulgarian coming from Macedonian. I hope this whets your interest in the Scots.
