To all Scottish speakers! I have become fascinated with the Scottish accent in English and because of that I wish to adopt it in my speech. So, I am looking for any person from Scotland who is able to teach me to speak in their fashion. In return I will be glad to teach you my native language Dutch, but I can also teach you Spanish! Or if you're a community or professional teacher I can also pay you. Thank you in advance ! :)

Do you really want to speak like this? Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o the puddin'-race! Aboon them a' ye tak your place, Painch, tripe, or thairm: Weel are ye worthy o' a grace As lang's my arm. Not a single person outside of Scotland will be able to understand you!

Today is a good day for this resolution - "Burn's Night". My parents were from Glasgow and I lived there for some time, but I grew up in the London area for most of my life, so my accent is not Scottish. I can imitate a Scottish accent but I couldn't teach it. There are some Scottish teachers on here, Andi from Edinburgh is one I can remember. Scots accents vary a lot and you may want to select a particular one. Listen for example to Neil Oliver, Magnus Magnusson, Michael Gove, Alex Salmond, Billy Connolly, and Malcolm Rifkind for a cross-section of Scottish male accents. And that's just a few of the many accents. I recommend you find a famous Scot you particularly want to sound like and listen to lots of material from that person. Good luck!

Thank you for your comment Jmat. Hahha it does very interesting! I can't understand it really, but at some moments it does sound very much as if it was spoken by a Dutch person!
