Level One Scouse: You will find below a list of well known words and phrases that are often used by our cheeky friends from Liverpool. To help you with the pronunciation you will need to say what you see. Hay = Excuse Me Dat = That Day = They Dares = There is Oarl Rite Mayt = Hello there how are you Cumm Ed = Come along now D Aussie = The Hospital D Foot E = The Football On D Bev E = Taking Alcoholic Beverages D Soash = The Social Security Office Me Owl Feller = My Father Ya Skall E = You Bounder Once you have mastered these you can go to level two and practice on these chaps: Cumm ed soff lad or wheel miss D Foot E = Come along now you fool or we will miss the football match. Carrm down, dares no need to kik off = Calm down there is absolutely no reason for us to have a fight. Dya fan C a Bev E = Would you like something to drink? Using the above letters and the sounds they make when you put them together should have you talking scouse in no time at all. Posture is all important as the Scouse is considered a loveable rogue and talks with ones hands, so keep chipper and bouncy as you adopt the cheeky scouse persona. If you cant get into Liverpool you should consider Distance learning material such as Brookside, Lily Savage, repeats of Bread, Thomas the Tank Engine and any video by Stan Boardman. good luck.
