    How to learn gàidhlig

    The best dictionary for a learner is www.learngaelic.net/dictionary. This will even speak Gàidhlig at you in a credible accent. Beag air bheag is a more phrase-book type

    approach, TAIC is about the best of the grammar approaches. For the serious, Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, based on the Isle of Skye is the pre-eminent Gàidhlig-medium college in

    the world, offering on-line courses and residential courses from one week to 4-year Masters' degrees. If the width of the Atlantic bothers you then gaeliccollege.edu are

    based in Cape Breton and have an outstanding international reputation. Muirealofskye is based in Tucson, a larger-than-life character adored by her students, offering semi-

    private tuition. More you put in, more you get

    out....

    www. taic.me.uk is a not-for-profit Ghàidhlig grammar-based course. Some will find it a bit old-fashioned, but those who can handle rules will find it invaluable...

    Thanks Robbie. I have taken some Gàidhlig classes in the past and heard it spoken (or more often sung) around Cape Breton. I feel I must increase my fluency.
