1 dayDo you have a scottish accentnwhen speaking english? Does gaelic come into play at all during any conversations?
Native spoken Gaelic in the modern day is secluded to a small amount of tiny villages way the fuck up north. In the central belt you only see it written underneath the english name of a train station or on emergency service vehicles. In the Highland council area none of the larger towns will have more than a few native speakers but you’ll see it written more places as an alternative
I don’t but I can put one in pretty well and I’ve never heard anyone in person speak Gaelic and I’ve been here 12 years

I hear that’s good for balance, but I don’t have it either and I do fine on a rope

How bad is Scottish English in reality?
Did you understand anything at all when first moving there?When I moved I didn’t speak English at all really so I’ve kinda just picked up scottish English as I’ve went. To start off with it was really hard but once u know the sayings and how to pronounce stuff, it gets a lot easier

What do you think is different between Scottish people and Lithuanians? If anything at all
I think both are ultimately flawed. I think u need a mix of both, regulated capitalism with some socialist policies in things like education and healthcare
That’s not really a mix of both, but just capitalism with welfare. Something being capitalist or socialist is determined by what is principal in the mode of production, and which class is in control of the state.

Ah yes. A point about socialism within 2 comments. You know you’re on Lemmy when…
How are you seen by people in Scotland, as a Lithuanian and an immigrant?
I’m not sure about the country as a whole but in my area we have a lot of Romanians and Bulgarians and they all live and work on the farms around here, so I feel like because I don’t work on a farm they don’t see me as an immigrant like they see them, y’know?
Yes i see it. You are a different kind of immigrant, probably less so because that stigma is attached to the farms and not your profession…
Exactly. It’s strange but it is what it is. I know people who love me and my company and voted for Brexit because they didn’t see me an an immigrant
I have a friend from croatia who is in the same boat here in my country as well. Go figure. I think this shows how the fear for the immigrant is just the good old fear of the different from us, suddenly when the immigrant is not a generic someone else but someone you know, it’s not really an immigrant anymore.
I moved when I was 14. My mum got a job on a farm here so I moved with her
