Never studied Gaelic before? No problem! If you’re just starting out, or if you feel a bit rusty, this is the class for you! In a fun, relaxed, gently-paced learning-environment, Adam will teach you the basics of the Scottish Gaelic language in the company of like-minded friends whom you’ll get to see every week as you learn Gaelic together. Gaelic has a reputation for being a difficult language, but this class makes getting acquainted with Gaelic easy and fun. ‘S cinnteach gun gabh sibh spòrs! (You’re sure to have a good time!)
6.15m – 7pm Gaelic Reading and Grammar Class
When do you use the verb ‘is’ instead of ‘bi’? When – and when not – should you lenite and slenderize a word? How do you change a verb to put it in the future tense, or the past tense, or the conditional tense? If these are questions you’d like to hear answered, then this the class for you! Every week, we’ll read a Gaelic passage together (to practice our reading and pronunciation), and then pick it apart to better understand its grammar. Ionnsachaidh sibh tòrr rudan air nach robh fios agaibh a-riamh! (You’ll learn a lot of things you never knew before!) After class, at 7pm, anyone who’d like to do so can go upstairs for some Scottish Country dancing!
