Host: Shonagh lives and teaches in Inverness but comes from Caithness originally. Gaelic isn’t spoken commonly there and as such, Shonagh learnt Gaelic as an older teenager and later at university in Glasgow and Aberdeen. This helps her to understand just how tricky language learning can be!One of the most common questions besides "what is your name" is to ask how someone is doing. In this class, students will cover some more Scottish Gaelic basics including how to ask someone how they are and how to give basic answers using "I am" and "I am not" responses. This class is aimed at students of all ages and is great for any student interested in learning Scottish Gaelic!
