Any Scots Gaelic speakers here?

[Eric Schutte]

Hello All,

After meeting a wonderful couple from this forum.....(Thanks Vic and Capn' Mac) I realize I need to learn ALOT more Gaihlige. Anyone wanna take the plunge and converse with and/or teach me some scots gaelic? The challenge has been offered.......who has the guts to "pick up the glove?"

Thanks everyone,

Eric

Urchurdan and Paul,

Ciamar a tha thu mo caraidh? Is mise Eric agus sann an Cusick, Washington State, USA, a tha mi. Se Garda (policeman) a th'anam.

OK guys, that will be all for Eric's lousy Gaelic today until I can get a Scots gaelic dictionary....stay tuned. It may taker a little while but I will translate and then answer your posts...Thank you very much for helping me.

Eric..check out Beag a Beag on the BBC! You might want to get tapes so you can listen to the pronounciation as well.

Dall Piobaire,

Of course that will be after I study my new bagpipe tunes.....

Thanks again,

Eric

Halo a' Eric, Tha mi gu math tapadh leat. Tha do Ghaidlig sgoinneil.

That was good advice from Dall piobaire (Blind piper, unless his name is Dall?)
Listen to the sounds, thats important. Piping too? I am impressed...One wee thing, a Garda is an Irish Policeman, Scottish Gaelic can be - Poileasman or fear poilis (policeman) or perhaps oifigear poilis (police officer) - the more modern useage is Poileasman - sounds like it looks pole aish man
Tom....
