No worries there explorer. These days, speaking English won't be a problem. It's true that the 'gorale'(highlanders) have their own dialogue, but these days, most speak at least a smattering of English. All the more so the under 30 generation.

Someone should be publishing the "highlander language guide". Could be a funny thing!
