Fit like awbdy! (That’s a common greeting in the Doric or North-East Scots.) I’m really chuffed that the Doric language bootcamp, which was my idea and was organised by myself is shortlisted at the Scots Language Awards. Please consider voting for us on page 2 (Educational Project): https://lnkd.in/eCPievfA The deadline is this Sunday. Muckle thanks!
There was nowhere to immerse yourself in Doric before and thanks to our brilliant teachers, Dr Jamie Fairbairn and Aidan Robertson, the event far exceded my expectations. In addition to speaking exercises they made us come up with a piece of creative writing which we all presented and everyone had a very worthy contribution. It was of course all about building your own confidence. We also enjoyed Jackie Ross’ story telling. Thanks to the Doric Board for the generous sponsorship. We hope to return next year.
