Thought it was gonna be this skit from limmys show haha. That one broke my brain until I binged the show and acquired a passive understanding of glaswegian

I've watched Limmy's show so much, I can even understand the old guy in a pub skits

I stll categorise this as "fairly easy", maybe "average" difficulty. What breaks my head is some Aussie slang. ^^

I burst out laughing watching this. Reminded me of how my British wife "warned" me about folks' accent back when I first met her family in rural England.

Honey, I understand them perfectly fine. Won't you be worrying, love?

:D

Lol, that's really sweet. But imagine that specific MP to be the first boss in a very lengthy and challenging video game. ^^

Tory MP's kinda are but the game is Life

I could understand the first guy, but had to look up "antipodean".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I could hear what he was saying but he was talking quite fast which makes it harder to understand.

Glaswegian is medium difficulty, try Dundee
