It's no secret that moving to a new city can be daunting.

There's new streets, new people and of course, whole new accents to try and decipher. 

And while Glasgow is very welcoming to the thousands of new students who grace our city every year - it comes as no surprise that some of our much-loved sayings go over some freshers' heads.

So, in a bid to try and ease the awkward translation process, online learning platform Quizlet has worked with local councils, poets and language experts to help students learn regional slang from across the UK for the online study sets.

Richard Gregory from Quizlet said: "Many of us will remember how nerve-wracking those initial university days are.

"Dozens of faces and names to remember, all in the backdrop of a new city.

"We created this resource to try and mitigate those university jitters - teaching students about their new surroundings through the important pillars of language and culture.

"The relationship between students and the local population can sometimes be a challenge, and that’s why all these language experts wanted to get on board to help us bridge linguistic divides."

Stuart Paterson, BBC Scotland Poet in Residence from 2017 to 18, provided some terms for newcomers to Glasgow. 

And we wanted to put our city to the test - how well do you know our city's dialect? The answers will be at the bottom of this page.
