Halò a h-uile duine! Is mise Ruaridh

[ScottishLaowai]

Halò a h-uile duine! 'S e Ruaridh an t-ainm a th' orm, agus tha mi naoi bliadhna fichead a dh'aois. Rugadh mi ann an Obar Dheathain, ach tha mo theaghlach a' fuireach ann an Dùn Èideann a-nis. Tha mise a' fuireach anns an Òlaind agus thòisich mi ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig an-uiridh.

Is toil leam ionnsachadh cànain ùra: tha Beurla, Fraingis, Duitsis, Arabais, agus Sìonais agam. Tha mi ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig, Gearmailtis, agus Eabhrais cuideachd.

Hello everyone! My name is Ruaridh, and I'm twenty-nine years old. I was born in Aberdeen, but my family now lives in Edinburgh. I live in the Netherlands and started learning Gaelic last year.

I enjoy learning new languages: I speak English, French, Dutch, Arabic, and Chinese. I'm also learning Gaelic, German, and Hebrew.

Fàilte chridheil dhut!

Tha mi air mo bheò-ghlacadh le cànanan cuideachd!
I'm obsessed with languages too

Tha Fraingis, Spàinntis, Eadailtis agus Catalan agam. Tha rud beag Cuimris agus Corsican agam cuideachd.

Tapadh leat a Níall! Ciamar a bha thu ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig? Aig an oilthigh no sgoil, no leat fhèin?

Thanks Níall! How did you learn Gaelic? At university or school, or by yourself?

Dh'ionnsaich mi i le measgachadh de dhòighean.
I learnt with a mixture of methods.

Cursaichean goirid aig Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, ionnsachadh bho leabhraichean, agus bliadhna aig an t-Sabhal Mòr.
Short courses at Sabhal Mor Ostaig, learning from books, and a year at the Sabhal Mor.

Ceartachadh beag: Tapadh leat a Níall -> Tapadh leat a Nèill. Vocative case

Ah, so that's how you put it in the vocative, right. Mòran taing!

Tha mi air a bhith ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig air Duolingo agus le leabhar "Teach Yourself: Complete Gaelic". Gu mì-fhortanach, tha an e-leabhar agam agus chan eil audio ann. Tha mi airson ionnsachaidh aig Sabhal Mòr Ostaig anns an àm ri teachd, ach bu toil leam ceumnaich bhon cùrsa agam an-seo aig Oilthigh Leiden ron àm sin.

I've been learning Gaelic on Duolingo and with the book "Teach yourself: Complete Gaelic". Unfortunately, I have the e-book and there's no audio.
I want to study at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig in the future, but I'd like to graduate from my course here at Leiden University before that.
