Geordie English Book

Description

• Geordie, spoken in Newcastle and Tyneside 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. This compact, handy book will help you to understand the English of the north-east.
