Many of you will know John as he had been contributing books, poems and articles to the site for some time now.
In particular he's been giving us copies of many of his poems in the Doric language which is the language spoken around the Aberdeen area of Scotland.
You can read his poems at http://www.electricscotland.com/poetry/doggerels.htm
The reason I mention this is that I just happened to stumble upon a series of videos on YouTube which aim to teach you some of these Doric words so I thought I'd include Lesson 1 here for you to watch.
