Introducing myself
Halo, Tha mi a fuireach ann an Barnstaple, ann an Devon, ach tha mi a Coventry. Tha mi ochdad bliadhna a dh'aois, agus tha mi ag ionnsachadh Gaidhlig, ach chan eil moran fhios agam fhathast, mar sin bidh mi a-nis Beurla sgriobh.
If anyone would like to point out the mistakes in that, I would be most grateful. I did begin some time ago, and joined this forum under another name, but a house move intervened and I lost track a bit! I am using the course Complete Gaelic and also Beag air Bheag. My interest in Gaelic originated through Gaelic song, listening to Maggie McInnes, Ishbel MacCaskill, Julie Fowlis and others, and after a visit to Harris and Lewis I got started.
Latha math an-drasta

Re: Introducing myself
Tha Gàidhlig mhath agad mar-thà!
I noticed that you haven't used any accents - look here: http://www.igaidhlig.net/en/category/accented-letters/

For knowing as an ability, it is better to use:

Re: Introducing myself
Moran Taing, Gunchleoc. I will look up how to apply accents, although it's easier to shelter behind the excuse that I don't know how!

Re: Introducing myself
Hi, welcome!
I don't yet know how to welcome you in Gàidhlig so that's why I do it in English.
Kind regards.

Re: Introducing myself
No excuse, we also have a Ω-button here for a selection of special characters, including the accented vowels
The accents are very important for vowel length, so I recommend that you always use them.

Re: Introducing myself
Thank you to those who have replied to my introduction with a welcome. I'm not sure yet how to say this in Gaelic but I will be trying to put things into Gaelic in future, even adding accents to my repertoire after having my knuckles rapped (in the nicest possible way) by GunChleoc. I probably underestimated their importance.

Introducing myself
Hàlo
Is mise Claire, tha mi ag ionnsachadh na Gàidhlig- gu màirnealach! Tha mi fuireach ann an Cromba (Cromarty), anns an Alba! Tha mi luisreagan (a herbalist) and I am researching the Gaelic tradition and herbs native to Scotland. Hoping to practice a bit more here, as I need to get used to conversation and written Gaelic. I'm also hoping to pick up Classical Gaelic once I get better at the grammar.
Happy to meet other learners, and to be corrected (within reason!)
Also, interested in beginners for conversation near Inbhir-nis (Inverness).
Let the learning begin!!
Please get in touch if you have an interest in/knowledge of the gaelic medical manuscripts or the Beatons.
Slàinte leat!
