Speaking Our Language Episode 1 part 1 - Learn Gaelic

Gaelic Learners programme presented by Rhoda MacDonald.
Cothrom Gàidhlig ionnsachadh le Rhoda NicDhòmhnaill.

I've decided to replace the episodes with better quality versions of this series. This is part 1 of 2.

@cbabick

This is Scots Gaelic, not Irish Gaelic. There is a difference.

Thanks for uploading! I live in Sweden and have decided to learn gaelic so I can understand Celtic Woman-songs.

@lovefromeponine Yup, that looks right :) Although I think "Glè mhath" means literally "very well", not "I'm very well". For example if someone asks "How are you" in English you may say "very well" instead of "I'm very well". Therefore, "Glè mhath" can also be used to say something is very 'good', or 'well'. In the video @ 8:08, he says "Glè mhath", as in "very well". Hope that helps :)

So, did I get everything?

Ciamar a tha sibh (fèin)?: How are you (as well)?

Tha gu math: Fine, I’m well

Tapadh liebh: Thank you

Glè mhath: I’m Very well

Thanks for posting this. My family who are American have decided to learn it together, and speak it in the home.

I didn't realize it until I half way through, but yes, it's definitely Scottish. I am learning to Irish one as well, but this program repeats it enough it makes it easier to remember. I'll be saying this stuff at work now just to see who looks at me funny.
