Gaelic

Conversational Gaelic

Why Gaelic?

Gaelic is the oldest Scottish language still spoken today and underpins our identity and culture. It is represented in placenames throughout the country including Dundee and Angus.

The Course

The course is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who have been learning the language using Duolingo or other online resources.

The learning programme will be conversation-based from the outset. Grammar is an essential part of any language but we will seek to introduce grammatical concepts as they arise through conversation and reading rather than as topics in themselves.

The Tutor

Donnchadh MacCàba is a Gaelic learner from Dundee. He is a published poet and writer in the Gaelic language and a regular contributor to programmes on Radio nan Gàidheil.

“As a learner myself, I understand the challenges facing those trying to attain fluency in the language. I aim to guide you past the difficulties and potential pitfalls and give you the necessary encouragement to speak our language with confidence.”
