From 'Howay, man!' to 'Haddaway!' become fluent in Geordie.Geordie, spoken in Newcastle and in Tyneside on the banks of the river Tyne in the county of Northumberland in the north-east of England, is one of the most easily recognisable British dialects. At one time it was rare to hear Geordie elsewhere in the UK, but TV programmes such as Byker Grove, footballers such as Paul Gascoigne and Alan Shearer, and the presenters Ant and Dec have helped to make it more widely known.Geordie, which has its own distinctive vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation, remains the best preserved British dialect largely because of its geographical isolation -- there are parts of Scotland which are further south than Northumberland. Many present-day features of Geordie were once present in other dialects, but these were mostly eradicated when the English language was standardised during the eighteenth century.Further from the Tyne, the dialect becomes softer, sounding almost Cumbrian before the western boundary is reached; and in the colliery villages, a distinctive variety of Geordie, 'Pitmatic', is spoken, in which terms used in mining have entered everyday speech.This compact, handy book will help you to understand the English of the north-east.

Know your Arbroath smokies from your wynds, your trews from your sporran, and ... lang may yer lum reek!Some say that Scots use more Scottish slang than English, but whether that’s true or not, the speech of most Scots is certainly peppered with slang. So, whether you’re visiting Glesga (Glasgow), home to Weegies, short for Glaswegians, the Granite City (Aberdeen) or the capital – known as Auld Reekie for the same reason that London was once, and sometimes still is, known as the Big Smoke – this concise guide to Scottish English will come in handy.There are many old Scottish sayings dating back to our grandparents’ day and beyond, but there are also many fairly recent inventions. Some of the older ones are rarely used now, which may be just as well, as they may baffle even a Scot, particularly depending on which part of Scotland you’re in.Some sayings will ‘make yer heid mince’, some are poetic and many will just make you laugh. This is a book for visitors to Scotland and for anyone crossing the border, in either direction. It will also evoke a pang of homesickness in any Scottish expatriate.While a concise guide can’t possibly be exhaustive, it can, as this handy pocket book does, offer a revealing and entertaining selection of words and idioms in common usage.Gemini PocketsFrom little guides to soothe your soul to all-access passes to the lives of pop icons, and from quizzes and puzzles for literature lovers to books on food, nature, fashion, and more, Gemini Pockets are the perfect fit for your life and interests.

The dialects of English still spoken in Yorkshire, known collectively as Broad Yorkshire, Tyke or Yorkie, are both colourful and instantly recognisable. In this pocket-sized guide, you'll find everything you need to give Sean Bean or Jodie Whittaker a run for their money.First, you have to drop your Hs, from 'has' and 'her' for example - 'as and 'er. Then, the Ts need to go, from 'that' and 'cat' for example, to be replaced with a slight H sound, the so-called glottal stop - tha' and ca' - while 'the' becomes simply t'. A famous example (which no one ever actually says) is 't'in't in't tin, meaning 'it isn't in the tin'. In a similar way 'with' becomes 'wi'. Accents may differ throughout the Dales, but Ts and Hs are dropped throughout Yorkshire. And don't bother with the G in any -ing ending. Gs at the end of words count for nothin'. The 'ay' sound in a word, like 'day', becomes 'ee', as do some i sounds - 'right', for example, becomes 'reet'. So, in Yorkshire, you might say, 'I'm 'avin' a reet grand dee!'Never say 'our'; you say 'us' - Wot's f'r us tea, Mutha? Yorkshire's a friendly place - anyone you meet could be 'love', 'pal' or 'fella'.And do speak to everyone - you're not in London! So, don't be taken aback if someone hails you with 'Mornin', pet, reet grand day, i'n'it?'Yorkshire is the birthplace of what is now the international language of modern English. The dialects have featured in the work of the Brontes, who were born and lived in Yorkshire, famously in Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, also in Charles Dickens' Nicholas Nickleby, among other classic works.Gemini Pockets From little guides to soothe your soul to all-access passes to the lives of pop icons, and from quizzes and puzzles for literature lovers to books on food, nature, fashion and more, Gemini Pockets are the perfect fit for your life and interests.
