Good Day M'lords and Ladies,

How are thee this fyne day? Hope that all is well.

It is M'wish to learn how to speak in a fashion such as this for Halloween (my dh and I are going in Celtic Dress).

Does anyone know where I can find online a guide to learning how to speak like this???.


I have done search after search on google, but am thinking that I am not doing the right kind of search. I don't want to learn the language, just have the accent and learn how to put my words together for a cool accent to my halloween costume!

Thank ye for yer help!

I don't know if this will help but I found this. Beginner's Guide to Irish Gaelic Pronunciation

How fun! I did this for a Renassiance festival about 15 years ago! It was a blast. I am really "into" accents and have fun messing around with them. I rented "Rob Roy" (Liam Neison and Jessica Lange). That helped with the phrasing (at least as good as I needed it to be). I also had a cassette tape my drama teacher gave me with accent instruction. I don't have it anymore though

good luck!

I grew (very heavy rolling on the R) up (oop) with a wee friend (again roll the R). Her (hair-roll the R) Mammy was from (again roll the R) ScOTTlend. We live in Virginia, but would impersonate her mom every time we went out. If we were drinking, the accent worked a wee bit more (again, roll the R). We haven't hung out in years and years, but I can still pretty much freak ppl out w/ my Scottish accent. It is a hard accent to learn. Just roll those R's.

Good Day M'lords and Ladies,
(instead of this, say "Top of the Marnin' to ya!"

(replace with "Tis me wish...")

Common phrase: "Well, the Lord SAVE us!" (Enunciate this way: "Well, the Lard Save'es!" )



Have fun!

Oh! Thank you!! I am off to a grand ol' start!

Here's another site you might find useful. It's put out by the BBC Scotland, and it's got recordings on there to help you learn the proper way to pronounce the words and phrases.

Thanks Carrie!

My mom told me last night to watch the movie Brigadoon. I found it on youtube and I will be working on my accent all week! The stores are going to love me!!!
