Blas na Gàidhlig

[Blas na Gàidhlig]

This book tackles the thorny issue of Scottish Gaelic pronunciation in an engaging and clear manner without loosing track of the bigger picture and the fine detail. It was written with three main reader groups in mind: - adult learners of Gaelic (from total beginner up to highly advanced learners who want to improve their pronunciation and comprehension skills) - teachers and tutors of Gaelic who wish to become more effective in teaching pronunciation to adult learners of the language - native speakers of the language who wish to gain a better understanding of how their language works. It assumes no prior knowledge and takes the reader on a complete journey through the marvels of the Gaelic sound system. It comes with over 120 sets of exercises, numerous sound files that can be accessed via the publisher's website, both technical and entertaining illustrations and a recipe for some Christmas baking. Hardcover.585pp.
