Madain Mhath. S' mise Daibhidh. Tha mi as na Staitean Aonaichte. Tha mi a' fuireach ann an Maryland. Tha i fliuch agus fuar an-diugh.
And that is the limit of my Gaidhlig. I know I don't have the accents. I haven't turned them on yet. I saw the post on how to do it. I am pretty much just starting to learn Gaidhlig, and have alot of questions that I will be asking later.

I am learning on my own right now. I heard that there is a Gaelic group that meets on Saturdays and is an hour or so drive south of where I live. I would like to try to attend atleast one Saturday a month, but with my work schedule I wouldn't have the time. Currently I am using the online sources of TAIC and Beag air Bheag, and have the book and CDs of "Teach Yourself Scots Gaelic." I did find a few videos of "Can Seo" on You Tube. Most of the time I use TAIC or Beag air Bheag more than I use the book.
In a classroom setting, I am able to pick up a language real quick. I had two years of Spanish in middle school and three years of Latin in High School, with the third year being self study because I was the only one who signed up for Latin III. I also had two semesters of French in college. I did not do as good with French as I did with Spanish and Latin. In college, I really did not have much time for French.

Hello David. How are you today?
My name is Chris and I live in Penicuik, Scotland.
Firstly, welcome to the forum and hope you enjoy learning Gàidhlig. I am currently learning Gàidhlig also and am part way through a course at college. My course tutor is really pleased with my progress so far and I hope to pass the exam when it comes around which will be sometime after my assessment. That will hopefully be in a few weeks time.
Mar sin leat an-dràsta agus mòran taing.

Daibhidh,
Those are all good resources that you are using. I refer to them often. You will find a few distance courses on-line also, if you are interested, but some are quite expensive.
I wish that there was a Gaelic group near me, even an hour away! As it is, I seem to be the only Gaelic learner in Nevada!!
Well, good luck with the Gaelic.

Those are really good courses your are using, I use them myself. I'm more than likely at the same position as you in learning Gàidhlig, but glad that I'm not the only one!RDavidP wrote:I am learning on my own right now.
