Halo. Ciamar a tha sibh an-diugh?
Tha glè bheagan Gàidhlig agam!
Tha mi ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig. Tha mi à Sasainn, agus chan eil mi Albannach. Ach tha mi a' dol gu Gleann Dail, an t-Eilean Sgitheanach.
Tha mi donn, agus mòr - ach chan eil reamhar :-)
Tha mi sgith an-diugh.
Tha mi ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig

Glè mhath!
Very good
Fàilte ort a-rithist!
Welcome again
One says "Chan e Albannach a th' annam" - you have to use a different structure with nouns.

Ironically, I got to starting to grasp that bit in the book not long after I posted. I didn't get taught enough English grammar at a young age to instinctively understand what parts of speech need bi and which need is.

dòchas = hope
deagh = good == math?
turas = trip == cuairt?
Anyhow, I know it will be fabulous as I've been before, and I have good friends there. :-)

English doesn't make that distinction, but you're right, it helps a lot when you've been taught grammar in your native language.
Dè a' Ghàidhlig air X or Ciamar a chanas mi X sa Ghàidhlig
Chan eil mi a' tuigsinn

Halò, treaclemine!
Tha sin a' ciallachadh "Where do you stay/live in England? Are you working now?" (and actually it should be "Càit a' bheil thu a' fuireach ann an Sasainn? A bheil thu ag obair an-dràsda?)

'S e "Birmingham" a' Gh`aidhlig air "Birmingham"
[bloody computer - no auto-accents]
Sa Bhruimis, 's e "Brum" nach e?
Chan eil ainmean s`onraichte G`aidhlig air `aiteachan an ann Sasainn ach "Lunnainn", "An Caisteal Nuadh" is "Cathair Luail" Seadh, "Bearuig".
