- Are there any Scottish teachers here?
I had a lesson with a student living in Glasgow today. She is struggling to understand local people at work and in daily life. She would prefer to study with a Scottish teacher, to assist with that. Thanks.

Hi Sue. Yes, I looked through some pages of British teacher profiles and found a few, which I passed on to the student. I imagine there are more. You can't search specifically for Scottish, only British, so that makes things a bit harder.

I don't think there is such a thing called "the best way". It may well be rather individual, depending on a wide range of factors, from student's talent for foreign languages to the goals and purposes why they want to learn it - and anything in between. But in general, I would say, regardless of your level, just go ahead and use it. Jump into water and swim. Practice, struggle, get frustrated, make mistakes, try to talk to people, read... just stay in touch with the language on a daily basis. And then, one day you'll wake up realizing that you truly learned it.
