There's a bloke lives near me, moved down from Aberdeen, it took me a full month before I could understand him. I was marvelling in the fact that he actually said " Oche aye ", and I knew what he meant. He, however, could understand everything I said.
On reflection, I think most countries are bi-lingual, all but us English. The empire is long gone, but the attitudes are refusing to leave.
Not being able to talk a second language myself, I have taken an interest in Spanish as a line of my family come from that way.

Some are and some aren't. I wish I had learned the gaelic language of Scotland when I was young.

This question made me think of Stanley Baxters hilarious show 'Parliamo Glasgow'.Anyone who's seen it would have to say yes to that question.
