Great thanks for sharing with all of us.

This beats learning from a book from the library.

[kegemac]

Ha! How apt that one of the first phrases taught is: "I'm Drinking" ! LOL

Tapadh leibh!!

[gmakwa]

Interesting Very Interesting. I will keep an eye on your profile

[voodoobaby405]

I am so glad I found this. Thank you for posting. I know only a few words and this should help me immensely.

[TheBlueprintGuys]

awsome vid, great info!

[ornitorrinc999]

Alba: nice people, wonderful land, beautiful language and culture; there you can almost feel the weight of the centurys. We were, me and my wife, five years ago, one week in Glaschu (Glasgow) and two weeks in Steòrnabhagh (Stornoway, isle of Lewis), only to hear people speaking in gaelic. Thank you very much from the Catalan Countries. Moltíssimes gràcies des dels Països Catalans.

Tapadh leibh.

Someone mentioned the word "Gàidhlig" to me recently. I decided to search it on youtube and found this!!! - I've never been very good at learning languages - but I'm really finding this fascinating to watch and listen to!! Thankyou for posting!

[NorthLimitation]

@beckie0

Best of luck Beckie if you do decide to go for it with the Gaidhlig, it's a beautiful language with a lovely culture too and the Gaels are generally very friendly and good fun! Good luck once again and

In Irish, they say "Conas ata tu" for "Ciammar tha thu."

Is é seo an abairt i amháin a fhios

[aeolius1234]

hello / yes very good but some of the episodes seem to have the video and audio out of sync has anybody got any ideas how to correct this or has anybody got a copy in disc form that i may purchase / please answer even if you cannot help as i will then know that it is being read / thank you joyce

[CanSeo]

anyone have any information on how to purchase these lessons?

[donnajeanapril17]

Chan eil fios agam, ach tha iad saor an seo.

[MrToucana]

@CanSeo The TV series was accompanied by a BBC book containing the course-work, grammar notes, and vocabularies for all 20 lessons. There was also a double audio cassette /LP disk recording with all the vocabulary drills. It cost £4.00 back in 1979. You may find a second-hand copy perhaps ? (I still have mine !)

Lovely to see the original TV shows which were never broadcast outside of Scotland afaik.

[ChadHorney]

Magic. I love the fact the guy was drinking McEwans. a bit unnecessary for a Sunday morning programme maybe, but quite realistic!!

[dunveganboy]

Can Seo was rubbish - Can seo agus can e rithist (ping)! We used to have to watch it in Portree School. But I hadn't realised Runrig did the theme tune. It sounds like a re-recorded version of 'De Ni Mi' from Play Gaelic. Does anyone know how to get it - it's brilliant!

[psychobollox]

you'd have to look for it on a fileshare network i think... unless Runrig have managed to get the rights for it and have it available on their site...

could try that...

[donnajeanapril17]

This is a wonderful way to learn Gàidhlig! I'm so glad I stumbled upon it today! Mòran taing! ( many thanks)

I've been learning scottish gaelic on my own for several months and these episodes are a great way to see the language used in every day situations.

I am also teaching my family gaelic as I go, so that's 5 of us (three are teenagers).

I would really love to see some Gàidhlig/ Beurla ( gaelic / english ) bilingual programming, here in the U.S.

A bheil Gàidhlig agaibh?

[lawrencesmallman]

Thank you to the makers of this programme and to whoever posted it on YOutube. I'm very grateful

[Leifr3]

i agree..I've been learning arabic off and on for a few years and have recently started learning scottish gaelic...I found Arabic a lot easier but then I've only just started with the Gaelic so perhaps it'll become easier over time. They're both beautiful languages and I'm hoping one day to be fluent in both.

[Leifr3]

I'm a native English speaker btw and don't speak Hebrew.

[lampost1]

and your point is?

[Leifr3]

My point? I'm merely discussing the pros and cons for a native English speaker attempting to learn both Gaidhlig and Arabic. Was it not clear enough for you? If I'd wanted to argue a point I wouldn't be kicking it off on Youtube.

[lalealynn]

Beautiful i am from Ireland i speak Irish and i cant believe how similar irish gaelige and scots gaelic are to each other i can understand all of this :-) WOW!!

[teddythefrency]

Hàllo, Hi, Adishatz (gascon language of the Pyrenees)

This is very interesting, I would like to find the same for the language (occitan -gascon romance language) of my little country, Bearn (in South West of France).

Ciamar a tha thu?=Quin vatz atau?= How are you?= Comment allez-vous? (Gaelic-Gascon-English-French)­.

I'll follow these lessons, just for the fun and discovering a very interesting language too.

When I was in Pau (Bearn) our teacher of english was a Scotsman knewing gaelic.

This fantastic material is of an immense help indeed!

[muckapedia]

To an English speaker, Arabic is more difficult because it isn't Indo-European, it uses a non-Roman orthography, and the multitude of regional dialects and non-standard variants are initially overwhelming.

But, to a Hebrew speaker, Arabic is quite intuitive — it all depends on frame of reference.

[conchubhar1]

irish (Gaeilge) and scots gaelic are very similar

i understood all of this

lean ar aghaidh !

Iontach, go raibh maith aigí. Tá sé seo an cosuil le Gaeilge ón tuaisceart Éireann

[equesfuscus]

Fantastic work! This is really great cultural stuff. My brother and I are going to try to learn this - our family spoke Scottish Gaelic two generations ago. Thanks again!

[muckapedia]

My Canadian guilt is getting the better of me: I re-encoded them and uploaded them to YouTube, but the real work was done by the (unknown?) person who initially recorded them, digitised them, and then put them on BitTorrent. *That* was the real work, as far as I see it.

[mrsjock1]

do you have a link to where you downloaded the original files, or some other way that I could get them from you?

[Virpatrick]

Thanks for sharing such interesting material Muckapedia... I've just started leraning Gaelic a few weeks ago at the local kirk.

Great video, although they went a tad quickly. Better on he internet, where you can pause to say the words.

[yvonnemurray]

Love the theme tune! Can Seo is streets ahead of Speaking our Language :-)

[dathnafala]

Haha, yes 'cause Speaking or Language is developed for 5 year olds :)

's toil leam Can seo :)

[Lunoma]

Wow this is very easy for me cos I'm Irish and I speak Irish Gaelic which is incredibily similar.

Good lord, I remember this now! Sunday mornings I think, wasn't it? You couldn't get much more 1970s BBC Scotland than this, could you? Thanks for sharing this!!

[Bodach789]

Do you hope to put more up in the future MucKapedia? It's an amazing resource gun teagamh sam bith.

[band3kafsh]

Thank you VERY MUCH for adding this - I've wanted to see the TV programmes for over 20 years and have never had access to them! Brilliant!!!

[fieryearthwolf]

Hi the band is Runrig.

[muckapedia]

How do you know the band is Runrig? What's the name of the song while we're at it....

[dotaman1977]

I think he knows because it is a Runrig Song from the album Play Gaelic, it is called De Ni Mi

[muckapedia]

Tapadh leibhse - I've been trying to track that one down for months!

[ricardsju]

I would also like to know the band

[VXEuanAttack]

Does anyone know what band does the opening song for this show? I really like the fusion of the Gàidhlig chorus and rock'n'roll.

[Bodach789]

Sin thu fhèin Mukapedia, Please more, more more!
