Well, that's a good sign, right?

I've been taking a couple of weeks out from actively learning Gàidhlig, but strangely-enough, I've found that my brain keeps thinking about it sub-consciously, and I'm finding myself occasionally 'thinking' anns a' Ghàidhlig - sometimes in phrases, but more often words for whatever I'm seeing or doing...

I hope that's a good sign and not a sign of insanity :)

Stark, staring bonkers, totally off your trolley, raving looney...actually, no, it's probably a good sign. Happens to me all the time - with all sorts of languages (usually English, Welsh and Gaelic).

A great sign. Are you dreaming in Gàidhlig?

Dreaming in Gaelic? Caution: I once dreamed I was having a conversation in Swedish -- I don't speak Swedish. Dreams can't be trusted.

Once i dreamt into gáidhlig, i came to a very close circle of people that stood on a hill speaking a language i wanted to understand but couldn´t :( I´m still feeling pathetic. That wasn´t a good sign eh????

Slàinte uile eile!

I've had dreams where I've been trying to speak Gàidhlig to people, but made a complete hash of it and they all look at me and think I'm useless...

So not that much different from when I'm awake, then!
:P

Looney - check!
Stark, staring bonkers - check!
Off my trolley - absolutely check!

Join the club then :lol:

Terry, don't feel pathetic. It might have been your subconciuos desire to learn, or frustration because you hoped to learn faster than you are. Don't worry about it, learning a language always takes time :D

I'd say it's certainly better to have Gaelic on the mind than not to be thinking about it all!
