Luke's ENGLISH Podcast - Learn British English with Luke Thompson · Debating Skills in English 🗣️ (with Ray Addam) [996] · 6 Jul 2026 podcast

Half of the time I have no idea what they're talking about.

I have.

So, for example, people who have been to university or who have worked in bigger companies, they've probably had more exposure to people from other countries and they've neutralized their accents.

But the Scottish or the Glaswegian people, which have...

being raised in communities where primarily people are just speaking with that accent, they haven't developed or globalized in any way.

And their accent and their language is still incredibly Glaswegian.

And sometimes I have no idea what they're talking about.

It's very interesting.

There's a couple of videos you can look up on YouTube, Impossible Scottish Accent, and every single one of those videos is from Glasgow, by the way.

Yeah.

I can understand maybe 75% of them, but even other native English people understand like 50%.

Well, for a lot of the people listening to this and myself included at one point in time, I would cringe when I'd hear the word debating.

I thought that debating was synonymous with arguing and I thought it was only for university clubs, for highly disagreeable people.

or for politicians.

But for a normal person who wants to live a peaceful life and go to work and earn your salary and see your friends and go home, I thought I could live through my whole life without ever needing to debate.

But now I've completely changed my opinion.

And the fact is, if you are someone who has opinions, you're probably going to need to debate them at some time.

Like your opinions could be related to social issues, environmentalism.

They could be related to your diet, if you're vegan or vegetarian.

Your opinions can, of course, be the classics.
