Gaelic on Twitter
Gaelic on Twitter
Twitter can be useful as well as being a 'chatter' site! I began posting wee Tweets in Gaelic for fun initially, about 6 months or so ago,and linked them to downloadable podcasts on my website and folk really seem to enjoy them - because tweets are no longer than 140 characters, they are easily retainable and I use phrases which folk actually want to be able to use. If you want to follow them, my tweet name is 'Gaelicsinger'. Podcasts at www.fionamackenzie.org/Gaelic_Podcasts
Thanks for the reminder, Fiona!
There's actually quite a lot of Gaelic on Twitter these days.
It's getting easier for learners to tackle or supplement daily practice via bite-sized portions, e.g. Fiona's site http://twitter.com/Gaelicsinger , or
http://twitter.com/CorrectGaelic (phrases, proverbs etc with pronunciation)
http://twitter.com/Learn_Gaelic (useful words, phrases and expressions with pronunciation)
http://twitter.com/anseotal (specialist vocab)
or to read the tweets of Gaelic journalists etc:
http://twitter.com/iainmacaonghais
http://twitter.com/coinneachbbc
or to get links to longer articles, eg the BBC news in Gaelic:

or the Gaelic Society of Inverness 's news stream:
