Fòram na Gàidhlig

A Dhùghlais,
cha bhi mi ann an taigh an-diugh, ach cuiridh mi gairm thugat a-màireach gun teagamh. Tapadh leat airson na freagairte.

Haló! Is mise Liam, 'is thoisich mi air Gàidhlig ionnsachaidh bho chionn aon mhìos deug. Chan eil mi fileanta, ach tuigidh mi go leor. Ba toil liom a bhith leibh ann a' bhuidheann seo. Bheil sibh ag gabhail ri daoine ùra fhathast? Agus dè an uair a bhios sibh a' cruinneachadh ri chèile a-rithst? Tha...

Thanks for the feedback, Nìall it's very much appreciated. I always try to avoid using the crutch of Irish, putting in the effort to use the correct Gaelic pronunciation which is so beautifully different. Hopefully I'm on the right track! Mòran taing a-rithist!

Halò a h-uile duine! Rinn mi pìosa reacordaidh dhìomh fhìn a' leughadh earrann bhon leabhar "Scottish Gaelic in Twelve Weeks". Seo e an mìr dhuibh: https://soundcloud.com/liamo13/donnchadh-b-n Tha mi ag iarraidh comhairle bhuaibh, dè na fuaimean nach bheil ceart agam? I think that it's cle...

Bha mi ag èisteachd rithe an-diugh, tha an guth aice gu hàlainn gun teagamh!

Glè mhath, tha mi cinnteach gum bi e fìor inntinneach ma-thà.

Tapadh leibh! I'm just after placing an order for the five volumes as suggested above, it seems GREAT value! I cannot find much info on what each of the individual books contain, is one of them the study on the Outer Hebrides by Borgstrøm? It doesn't really matter, the sheer quantity of material wil...

Halò a h-uile duine! I'm delighted to say that after a few months of studying Gaelic, my interest has skyrocketed. It's an exciting time, to be learning this beautiful language, an excitement which brings me back to when I first started studying Irish intensively. Now, I'm something of a nerd when i...

Thanks for the detailed explanation, akerbeltz!

I'll do plenty more listening in order to hear the different qualities of rs used by different people from different areas. Fascinating stuff!

Thanks all for the replies, and to Thrissell for the correction :) That Blas na Gàidhlig book looks very tempting! I'm familiar with the Czech R as the sound is identical (I think) to the Irish slender R. I have this sound pretty much down I think, after countless months of listening and repeating. ...

Firstly I hope this is the correct place for this query, if not feel free to move it @ moderators. An urrainn do dhuine sam bith a (h an seo?)innse dhomh ciamar an fuaim "R caol" a dhèanamh? Tha an cùrsa "Scottish Gaelic in Twelve Weeks" agam, is à Bharraigh a tha na luchd-bruidh...

Mòran taing bhuamsa cuideachd! Tha sin taghta!

That's excellent, thanks a million!

Ciamar a tha sibh uile? A bheil fios aig duine sam bith a bheil aon leabhar ann a tha a' tighinn le teip-fhuaime na rùd mar sin. Does anybody know of any audio books in Gaelic, it would be very helpful for picking up vocabulary! Also, can anyone recommend some sites or publishers that specialise in ...

Tapadh leibh a Fhaoileag, tha mi toilichte a bhith an seo! Agus tapadh leibh airson na ceartachaidhean cuideachd.

Liam
