I know that Willows post is an old one but she compares the french in Canada with the french in France and she is correct to say the dialects have changed a good amount but Willow the gaelic of Nova Scotia and Scotland has not changed much at all .If you travel to certain areas of Cape Breton for instance you will find the dialect of the Barra people of Scotland who settled there. In another part of the island you'll find the people who left the Isles of Harris and Lewis..I was at a gathering in Cape Breton where I was speaking to a visitor from the Lsle of Lewis in Scotland when he quickly turned to another gentleman who was speaking in his own Lewis dialect ,walked over to speak to him only to find that the gentleman was indeed speaking his dialect but his family left Scotland about 175 years ago...The Lewisman was so surprised and indeed the Cape Breton mans people did come out from Lewis those many years ago.There really is not much of a differance in the gaelic of Scotland and Nova Scotia..Of course we all reilize that dialects are common to all languages even within ones own country. Reading other posts here I must say that it would be great if people would keep there negetive remarks to themselves and only post positive ones but of course that would never happen,thats why the fight to keep gaelic alive is a big one .
le gach deagh dhurachd.
Cum gaidhlig beo.

Of course I have met people who like playing with the grammer..and met many who have learned the language well without dwelling on it so much , It came along as they spoke and listened.Oh well to each his own.

I believe that you are making a mountain out of a mole hill here ...Many things in gaelic do not translate easily from gaidhlig to english...Listen to some tapes (easier ones ) . Then move on to some more difficult ones .listen to them hundreds of times if you have to .Listen to bbc. gaidhlig if you can ..The language will improve for you ..The grammar will come .Its good to learn certain things without pulling it apart..for example.........Tha teid agam... is well used in everyday speech for........I can.......Tha teid agam air sin a dheanamh....I can do that..No need to dissect Tha teid agam....just learn what it means......By the way ,this is just my opinion . I'm just trying to help but am not an expert by any means.. It's just that I have seen so many people become
discouraged with so much grammar .
