Scottish Gaelic for Beginners (A1) AUSTRALIA & UK
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.
