Mòran taing, vb99!
Tha sin uabhasach feumail do luchd-ionnsachaidh agus luchd-teagaisg.

Agus nach math a rinn thu fhèin!

Fàilte!

Tha sin gu math inntinneach. Carson a tha thu ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig Arrainneach, agus ciamar a tha thu ga h-ionnsachadh?

Welcome!
That's really interesting. Why are you learning Arran Gaelic, and how?

Halò Linda, Fàite chridheil ort! :D Agus tha thu às an Eadailt! Nach eil sin inntinneach. Càite anns an Eadailt? Tìoraidh an-dràsda! Ciao! Welcome! And you're from Italy! Isn't that interesting. Where in Italy? Bye for now! from Italy: Tha mi às an Eadailt in Italy: Tha mi anns an Eadailt from S. Ui...

Think of these Is / Nach + adjective phrases (for now at least) as idioms, rather than as the standard structure. There are some useful more-or-less fixed phrases that you come across more commonly, and can safely use, e.g. Nach bochd sin! 'S math a rinn thu! Nach math a rinn iad! and you'll see oth...

Mòran taing bhuamsa co-dhiù - tha sinn uile taingeil gu bheil an làrach ann fhathast agus gu bheil thu ag obair cho dripeil air dhuinn!

Tha sinn toilichte gu bheil thusa den bheachd sin!

Halò a-rithist! Dè an seòrsa ceuma a bhios tu a' dèanamh ann an Cumbria? Agus am bi thu ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig air loidhne le SMO, no le colaiste eile? What kind of degree will you be doing in Cumbria? And will you be learning Gaelic online with SMO, or another college? Instead of a-staigh (inside)...

Halò, Ionatain!

Fàilte chridheil ort!

Càit' a bheil thu ag ionnsachadh?

A warm welcome to you. Where are you learning Gaelic?

O mo chreach - you'll probably be on here with a thousand new questions!

Fàilte an seo! Tha sinn daonnan toilichte daoine fhaicinn air an Fhòram à dùthchannan air feadh an t-saoghail. :-) Agus nach math gun robh cothrom agad cùrsaichean a dhèanamh ann an Alba fhèin agus Alba Nuadh! An dòchas gum bi thu a' sgrìobhadh air an Fhòram bho àm gu àm - tha cuspairean gu leòr aga...

Beware: "simplified" is very relative. Very very different from TAIC - wordy, explanatory, rather than tabular in approach. Lots of useful example sentences with notes, rather than rules, tables, boxes etc. Not always easy to find what you're hoping for, despite detailed (word) index. Good...

Or if you want to practise the original structure:

's e latha brèagha a th' ann ann am Biggar (an-diugh).

Keep your 's X a th' ann (an Y) together, put place (and time) at the end.

Definition: It's a fine day. Extras: Where? When?
