Welcome to another episode of the Scottish English Podcast's 'Voices from Scotland' series! Join us as we chat with Andy, who has lived in Kirkcaldy, Fife, and now Madrid, Spain.

Andy shares his unique journey as an English language teacher and his current work in publishing English language textbooks.

We discuss many topics from the influence of Romani culture in Fife, different cultures in different parts of Scotland, and of course, lots of great Scots words - some even I didn't know!
