No 3. Then I learnt Geordie English in Newcastle where I studied medicine. It’s a bit like loghat Kelantan. It’s another foreign language really.
No 4. Then I learnt Scottish English in Edinburgh when I worked there. Beautiful accent but had to learnt many new words like stuckie is plaster cast.
No 5. Then I learnt Welsh English when I moved to Swansea. Another different accent more like Indian accent when I first heard it.
