There's always a piece of glass in the carrier inside the door between the door skin on the outside of the car and door card inside the car mounted to the frame inside the door. Maybe it's under the car ?

A window under a car would get very dirty.

It's under the skin. It can get dirty in there.

There's a lot of stuff on Alba including soap/dramas like Machair, Ballan and An Clo Mor as well as factual stuff. I love Fraochy Bay: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraochy_Bay |

I've been watching Dangermouse. Children's shows are great for beginners in foreign languages because the language is usually basic and clearly enunciated.

Similarly, my German teacher at school recommended the Ian Fleming / James Bond novels printed in German as home reading. Theory being, the content of the storylines was known to most of us so that helped and they had an appeal to teenage readers.
Certainly worked for me.

Not so much a colloquialism as and odd pronunciation.
Some Mancunians tend to pronounce hospital as hospickle. Had a client earlier this week whose answer to a where were you born security question was North Manchester Hospickle.

Sounds like an anglicised version of what a Frenchman would have with his cheese baguette.

Only slightly preferable to Americans who receive care in Hazpiddles.

I had a colleague who used to say pacific whenever he was trying to say specific. He also had a habit of finishing a lot of sentences with “if you see what I mean?”
When those two events coincided, it took all of my powers of self-control not to say “specific?”
