Level of Gàidhlig through self study
Feasgar maith I was cleaning out my files and stumbled across my English diploma, it has been a couple of years but the mark caught my eye. It said that my proficiency level was C1. And I wondered about Gàidhlig, I can't seem to find to what level most self-study books go. I see myself as an absolut...

Re: Introducing myself
Hi, welcome!
I don't yet know how to welcome you in Gàidhlig so that's why I do it in English.

Re: Mòr or mór?

Mòr or mór?
Hi there, I have quite an old book to help me learn Gaelic, and I noticed little differences when I try to read Gaelic online. I found that in my book they write mór, whilst online I can find that they do not longer use it like that. In fact I think they changed every word into using it like: ò ù à ...

Re: New member
I haven't looked here since last year, sorry for the late reply! My Dutch and English are very good ( I have an extra degree in English), and since I lived in France for a year when I was 18 my French is also very good. I also am able to speak and understand German but not as good as the other langu...

Improving
Gàidhlig Beurla I only practice and learn Gaelic as a hobby, but I am so very thrilled when I find I actually am improving. But I do find it hard to participate here because I am the ultimate beginner. I combine my book with the tv episodes on youtube. I was wondering if anyone would like to look at...

Words with and without adding the -h-
So I have this bookk called Teach yourself Gaelic. It says you have to add the -h when the noun is feminine. However, I got confused by this: tr*nsl*t*: Yes, James is very big. My try: Tha, tha Seamus glé mór. However the book says it is supposed to be: Tha, tha Seamus glé mhór. Why? James is mascul...
