Gàidhlig Lessons with Scot AnSgeulaiche

Aimed less at academic fluency and more towards the visitor to the Gaelteachd being able to spot the difference between an "Inver" and a "Ben", to read a road sign, to know how to say "good morning" and "thank you" to a native and the significance of there being two colours of red and three of white in this most ancient of living languages. A fuller list of topics is at the page foot.
