We've timed this set of classes to suit Australian Gaelic Learners, but they are equally suited to UK and EU learners who can attend during work-hours. 

​

Our Zoom classes will help you learn to read, write, speak and listen to Scottish Gaelic with confidence.

​

From late July to the end of early September 2021, Zoom classes for A1 Absolute Beginners will run twice weekly for an 8 week term.

​

The twice-weekly 90 minute classes will have no more than 16 learners per group, ensuring that your experience is enriched through personalised tutor-learner engagement.

​

During that time we will take you through Gaelic phonics for effective pronunciation; basic language structure and parts of speech in the present tense; and, a number of useful topics to allow you to ask and answer simple questions through Gaelic as part of everyday conversation.

 

Course Descriptor

Each week's learning is structured around a key language step:

​

• 90 minute long Class 1 introduces the week's concept with many supporting examples across the skills of reading, listening, writing and speaking.

• Then, to help you to consolidate your learning there will be a number of reading, writing and listening exercises to complete in your own time (should you wish). 

• 90 minute long Class 2, later in the week, focuses on deepening your understanding of the week's language step through more language practice within interesting and relevant cultural contexts.

• Recorded versions of the lessons will be available to help you to review your learning and to let you catch up with any missed classes.

• Dedicated Quizlet sets will help you to revise through app based games, listening exercises and self-assessment quizzes.

You will receive a zoom link and joining instructions via email once you have booked your place and payment has been confirmed.

​

A detailed course outline will be delivered in advance of your first session.

​

This course will run with a minimum of 8 learners and a maximum of 16.  It is also suitable for those wishing to return to Gaelic use in everyday settings. 

​

Midday in the UK (BST) is the start time, running 90 minutes on Tuesdays and Thursdays for 8 weeks.  Times will vary across Australia but we hope that this accommodates all your needs.
