Re: Top tips for new Gaelic learners?

Bha mi a' coimhead uaireigin air bhideo Youtube far an robh thu a' bruidhinn ri dithis bhoireannach ann an Eurabol an tac an teine. Bha siud math. A rèir dhòmhsa co-dhiù, bha am blas cho coltach ri blas mo sheana-phàrantan a bhuineadh do Ratha, Dùthaich MhicAoidh, ged a tha Eurabol astar math air f...

Re: Top tips for new Gaelic learners?

Niall's definition of "native speaker" is this I guess [*from thefreedictionary.com]: native speaker a person who has spoken a particular language ever since he was able to speak at all. In the case of Gaelic, some people we think of as Gaels would not be classed as native speakers, using...

Re: Top tips for new Gaelic learners?

True. You didn't say "native", you said "more native than..." and I didn't catch the rest of it because there was a lot of people talking at the time. I was kind of stunned by that When did I say that? This is what I said: "I speak it to the same ability as most native spea...

Re: Top tips for new Gaelic learners?

Of course not. I am a native speaker of English, because I have been hearing it since birth (and some would say before that) and speaking it since my first word. And crucially I learned it from exposure to native speakers who had learned it in turn from exposure to native speakers. OK, so I didn't ...

Re: Top tips for new Gaelic learners?

After you've got a hold of basic conversational Gaelic, stop thinking of yourself as 'a learner'; think of yourself as a fledgeling Gaelic speaker . If you spend the whole time thinking of yourself as a learner, it can be difficult to ever leave that mindset. There is no-one, as the cliché goes, wh...

Re: Top tips for new Gaelic learners?

Without any shadow of a doubt, the key is to keep a keen eye on what you know, not what you don't know. It's so easy to stare blankly into the vastness of the language and think that you'll never get it. But it is eminently possible. Just look at the people above here who have all learned to fluency...

I agree with Murdo Macleod completely Tha mi ag aontachadh leis cuideachd. Ma dh' iarras tu Beurla, bruidhinn Beurla, chan eil cail riatanach ri fhaotainn bho toirt gnaiths-cainnt Sasannach a-staigh na Gàidhlig. Feumaidh Gàidhlig a bhith doigh tro bheil sinn a' bruidhinn mun rudan Albannach, doigh ...

Re: Fàilte dhan fhòram / Welcome to the forum

'S mise GunChleoc agus tha mi às a Ghearmailt. Thòisich mi air ionnsachadh Gàidhlig deireadh 2005 :D I am GunChleoc and I'm from Germany. I started learning Gaelic at the end of 2005. Duilich, ach thàinig sin air m'aire! Thoisich mise Gàidhlig ionnsachadh aig an aon àm. Thoisich mo bhean 's mo char...
