Learning Scots Gaelic, anybody want to try?

Hello my name is tanya. I love the scots gaelic, but i don't hear it very often because i live in the USA. I really very much would love to learn this absolutely beautiful language. I hope they start classes over here for it though, i would be in there fast then a bullet. Well i hope learn more each day. Ill talk to you ppl later.

Tanya

Hi Tanya! Welcome! I don't know the Scots Gaelic language well myself. I live in the USA too and it just isn't taught here. But I bought these two books on Amazon.com that are really good. Plus I did some research on the net, along with Scottish 2 and we came up with some grammar and such to get some of us started!

Try it! We can learn together!

Mar sin leibh!
Bye for now!

Cead/ceud(not sure which) mille failte and Feasgar math !!
I will enjoy learning along with other people such as yourself. I really hope that i can add gaelic to the many other languages I can get around in. I have looked at the first two pages of this discussion and have learned much more then i already did. I hope to further my research on languages such as Gaelic. Tapadh Leibh i hope we will become freinds in the process.

Fàilte bhlàth is fhuranach dhuibse tha gam luchd-ionnsachaidh.
A warm & hearty welcome to you learners.

Tha mi ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig cuideachd.
I'm learning Gaelic also.

Ceud Mile Fàilte - 100 thousand welcomes.

An do thòisich thu a' leughadh do leabhar Ghàidhlig fhathast CelticRose? Tha mi 'n dòchas gun do thòisich, 's e leabhar math a th' ann an TYG. Tha an leabhar sin agam-sa cuideachd agus 's fior thoil leam e. Uill co-dhiù sin e ma-tha airson an-dràsda. Oidhche mhath.

Did you start reading your Gaelic book yet CelticRose? I hope so, TYG is a good book. I have that book also and i really like it. Well anyway that's it for the moment. Night.

Halo Cu Dubh! Ciamar a tha sibh? Tha mi gu math anis. Tha mi an dochas gu bheil thu gu math.

Yes, I started reading my book. I have had some interruptions, but trying to look through it. It is such a wonderful language!

tha mi toilichte cluinntinn uat, thoir toigh or fein.

Feasgar math

Ciamar a tha thu CelticRose? A bheil thu a' cumail suas leis a' Ghàidhlig fhathast? Dè do bheachd air an leabhar? Tha mi 'n dòchas gu bheil e a' còrdadh riut, is toil leam an leabhar sin co dhiù. Cheannaich mi leabhar ùr cuideachd o chionn ghoirid, 'Bun-Chursa Gàidhlig' le Bill Blacklaw. Dh' innis càraid dhomh mu dheidhinn e agus tha e math fhèin! Bu choir dhomh cuideachadh gus a' Ghàidhlig ionnsachadh, tha mi a' smaoineachadh.
Feasgar math.

Hello CelticRose. Are you keeping up with the Gaelic still, what do you think of the book? I hope you're enjoying it, I like that book anyway . I bought a new book also recently ''Bun-Chursa Gàidhlig' by Bill Blacklaw.' A freind told me about it and it's excellent. It should help me towards learning Gaelic i think. Anyway bye for now.

For us beginners!

Can anyone help me find a site to learn to speak Gaelic???
And Happy Robby Burns Day

Hi Shorty! There are several sites listed on the first page on this thread as well as lessons supplied.

These online sites are among my favorites.

Ciamar a tha thu Cu Dubh? I am sorry that I missed this post of yours somehow. I love the Gaelic book. It is really good. I am studying a little bit of Gaelic but have been busy with other projects, such as my genealogy. My cousin is a historian and wrote a book about our family and I confess I have been immersing myself into that more.

I hope you are doing well. Your new books sounds interesting. Let me know how that goes.

Mar sin leibh!

Found this Gaelic Grammar Game page on BBC Scotlands wesite

Ooh! Scottish2 that looks like a pretty cool site!

I noticed that you changed your avatar! I loved Princess Diana! If I could have been at her funeral I would have! I was so very upset by her death.

Anyway, I am not sure if this is Scots Gaelic or Irish but can anybody translate for me these words?

Tigh na mare

Thanks!

Probably Scots gaelic being BBC Scotland.
