English teacher from Liverpool teaches students to speak in Scouse accent... and it's adorable

While teaching English in Taiwan, Mr. Adam-John Whittaker incorporated a little something more into his lesson plans. 

Whittaker is originally from Liverpool. As many of you know, residents from this area often have a very distinct accent known as Scouse. Whittaker explains that the kids (and their parents!) love his accent, so he wanted to do a mini course in Scouse. 

Check out the video above and see these cute kids learn sayings like, "What's 'appenin?" "ay" "swerve it" and "now den".
