OnTheTin 0 Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Don't mock! But I always find it difficult to distinguish between the Scots and Irish accents. How can I get round this? Link to post Share on other sites

Plucky 0 Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 A couple of weeks ago I took my friends to Appi to ski. I was approached by a lovely young lady that looked Japanese. When she opened her mouth and started talking, I was blown away! An Irish-Japanese girl with the best accent ever! She was trying to sell an extra lift ticket she had. I just couldn't refuse and bought it from her. Also, when I moved to Japan over a year ago, I was carrying a 9' longboard case that I had to get from the international terminal to the domestic terminal at Haneda. None of the cabs would take me so I was relegated to schlepping the thing over 1km myself with all of my other baggage. This girl I had seen in Honolulu whom I figured was Japanese came over and asked me in perfect English if I needed help. She too had an Irish accent (and was very cute)! I have to find me one of these girls where I'm at. I literally stop in my tracks when I hear them talk. It doesn't matter to me - Scottish, Irish, Welsh - It's all good Link to post Share on other sites

o'brian 0 Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I'm Irish, glad people like the accent. It's sometimes difficult to get understood in Japan though Link to post Share on other sites
Raury 0 Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Mmmmm, love all the Gaelic accents. My ex was Irish/Australian and had a slight lilt, until she spoke to her cousin and it came out. I have the remains of a scottish accent, but it comes out if I tralk to another Scot, or if I go home. Irish, Scots, Welsh it's all good, but hter are differences once you know what to listen for.
