Fàilte! Welcome!

Turas Gaidhlig is a collection of mini-lessons of Scottish Gaelic. I have started learning the language and became very frustrated by the lack of well written lessons for this language. Therefore, as I learn Gaelic I will write lessons for people to follow. Hopefully my lessons will be easier to follow and understand than some of the other online courses out there.

Piseach! Good luck!

Links to Sites

This post is mainly made up of links (plus one book recommendation.) I made this blog because I was dissatisfied with the materials I found online. But that isn't to say that I only found crap. This is a list of links I found worth noting.

Save Gaelic - A site dedicated to spreading Gaelic language and culture
www.savegaelic.org

Learn Gaelic - A website for the study of Gaelic
http://learngaelic.net/index.jsp

Beginner's Gaelic - A pretty nice intro into the basics of Gaelic. By Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, a Gaelic university (where all courses are taught in Gaelic!)
http://www.smo.uhi.ac.uk/gaidhlig/ionnsachadh/ECG/
 
Also check out Sabhal Mòr Ostaig's list of Gaelic resources:

Dwelly's Online Gaelic-English Dictionary - Need I say more?
http://www.dwelly.info/

TAIC Gaelic Learner's Resource Site - Lessons, sound files, links, etc.
http://www.taic.me.uk/taic.htm

BBC Alba - "Alba" means "Scotland" in Gaelic. This is mainly in English but there is a BBC Gaelic radio station called Radio nan Gàidheal.
www.bbc.co.uk/alba/

Beag air Bheag - Meaning "Little by Little" in Gaelic, this is BBC's site for beginner Gaelic. Not the best place to learn grammar, but listening files are numerous, so it might be of use.
www.bbc.co.uk/alba/foghlam/beag_air_bheag/

My book recommendation is the TY Series Dictionary for Scottish Gaelic.
It can be found on Amazon.com here >>> Essential Gaelic Dictionary: A Teach Yourself Guide


Hope these help!
