Life with two kids: Language acquisition

Gideon picking up language from YouTube is hilarious. I explained to him yesterday that you can use the right trigger to drift in Mario Kart and he replied "Bro! That's sick!"

I take it your kids have Scottish accents? (I'm used to it, of course although, as you know, Stirling is quite gentle).

A little bit. But Edinburgh's generic accent isn't very strong and we're close to one of the university campuses so lots of the parents are international.

(Of her three best friends the parents are Canadian, English, and Manx via Germany and Sweden.)

It was. He does a great accent with it too.
