These will offer practical experience in the use of Gaelic in communication and discussion, centred on particular themes. It is assumed that those who attend will already have some knowledge of Gaelic, and that they will be able to read short passages, which will act as prompts for conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These conversation-starters will include the articles in simple Gaelic which were published fortnightly in An Tirisdeach between spring and autumn 2024. Paper copies of these items will be provided at the outset of the classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The classes will also aim to provide opportunities for more advanced speakers to use Gaelic in a natural context and to interact at an appropriate level with those who are less fluent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The teacher will be sensitive to the different stages of language acquisition represented in the classes, and, depending on interest, will be happy to provide additional opportunities for using Gaelic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
