a-steach or a-staigh (does it matter?)
It's normal for some folk to use 'a-staigh' for both motion and state and I know a couple of folk from core dialect areas who use it that way, so 'should never' is a bit over the top imo.

Cait' Caite/ bheil
23660 SMO definitely goes down the Càite a bheil route (at least to begin with). Occasionally see it reduced to Càit' a bheil. Just sayin' Just did a 'find' through all my old ACA (didn't do ACI) materials and could only find " càite " written, I'm guessing sticking with one spelling for ...

'S toil/Bu Toil + Verbal Noun
They're probably just focusing on that for now because they like doing things nice and sequentially and there's a wee bit more grammatical baggage that comes along with the non "a bhith" form once you start dealing with direct objects. I didn't do ACI, but we were already expected to know ...

ceist air "gus / in order to"
Got it — never occurred to me but we have that idiomatic use of 'till' in Glaswegian too (sure it's common throughout Scotland) so that makes sense.

Learning vocab, system? Is there one?

Does Anyone Here Speak Gàidhlig?
A bheil thu ag ràgh nach bi "'s urrainn dhomh Gàidhlig a bhruidhinn" ag obair idir, no gun crochadh e air a' cho-theacsa?
m.e. Dè mu dheidhinn…
"B' urrainn dhomh Gàidhlig a bhruidhinn nan robh i agam, ach chan eil." ?
Tha sin cgl, nach eil?
