Fòram na Gàidhlig

O.K. Gabh mo leisgeul, the presidential election/primary is heating up here, inflamitory rhetoric and all, sure it has parked somewhere in my subconscious.

Looks like I was trying to skin an amaoba.. Tha mi duilich Mhst Beag.

One of the students wrote:“I am definitely more confident with my Gaelic today than I was four days earlier.” I'm not sure this qualifies as a fantastic claim. Maybe if the student said "I have now mastered the Gaelic language, having enrolled in this groundbreaking course" I know real peo...

Caution: “I am definitely more confident with my Gaelic today than I was four days earlier.” Most quotes I see for any language class (in any language) are from what I call "false beginners". Without knowing how much they'd studied before entering the classroom, it's actually quite hard t...

Here's a great Uallas Story in Gaelic perhaps you could use in your class:

Tha mi'n dochas gum bith e cordadh rium

Note: it has many older spellings, and also uses the acute.

Tapadh leibhse!

Na Gàidheal.
(Gàidheal loses its h in plural form)

Fear a' choille - "in" = ann an (not just "ann" on its own), e.g. ann an Iorc Nuadh [in New York]; ann an Florida a deas [in south Florida] "in the" = anns na, anns a', anns an, e.g. anns na Stàitean Aonaichte [in the US]; anns a' bhaile [in the town] anns na, anns a',...

Tha mi fhìn às Na Stàitean Aonaichte.
I myself am from The Unites States.

Rugadh is thogadh mi ann Iorc Nuadh.
I was born and raised in New York.

Ach tha mi fuireach ann Florida a deas air a' chladach an Cuan Siar.
But I live in South Florida on the Atlantic coast.

'S e brochan ma tha, nuair a tha sibh anns a' Ghàidhealtachd, deanaibh mar a' Ghàidheal.

It's brochan then, when in the Gàidhealtachd, do as the Gael.

Here is one list of courses that I know of, I'm sure there are many besides this..

There are private tutors, as well as full academic courses e.g. S.M.O., A.G.A.
best of luck..

Chluich mi an t-òran aig a' bhanais againn an Dàmhair seo chaidh. Uill, chluich an DJ co-dhiù, 's dh'èist a h-uile duile a b'ann.

Ma 's math a' Ghàidhlig agam sgrìobh mi:

I played the song at our wedding this past October. Well, the DJ played (it) anyway, and everyone there listened.

Dh'ith mi brochan madainn an-diugh. I'm not 100% sure about this but I think that "brochan" (i.e. "porridge") is the stuff you eat and "min-choirce" is (one of) the ingredients you make it from (i.e. the oats). This morning = morning today = madainn an-diugh. This may ...

Ah gum bi = that there will be.
nach bi = that there won't be.

Tha eagal orm nach bi Santa a' tighinn a-nochd.
'S e balach mi-mhodhaill a th' annad!

I'm afraid that Santa won't be coming tonight.
You're a bad boy!

I just got my accent marks
Fhuair mi an stràcan

An e'' 'S dòcha gu bhi sneachd ann a-nochd'' ?

Is it '' perhaps it will snow tonight'' ?

Ann an àite far a bheil mi fhìn tha e blàth an-diugh.

In the place where I am it is warm today.

Halo a charaid 'sa chànan. Bliadhna mhath ùr dhuibhsa.
