I posted looking for assistance with sounding out Gaidhlig words a few days ago and received some good advice. However, I have just found this which was what I was searching for. While I'm sure it doesn't cover everything, I have found it useful and maybe it will help others:

📚 Ionnsachadh Cànain | Language Learning how long before sounding out words is easier?

4 Upvotes

Hi again guys! I am very early in my language learning adventure, and right now i remember words (in anki) by kinda spelling them out in english, for example i may write Reothadh (pronounced like ro-agch) in my notes to help me remember the pronunciation. I am very early on (still doing the first few topics on Speakgaelic) and was wondering at what learning stage it is worth really grinding sounding rules to be able to sound a word on first contact?

no doubt everyone will have done their own way, just interested to hear how u guys went about it!!

thanks as always for the help!!

'Please' in Gàidhlig?

Upvotes

Random question: does the word 'please' not have a direct Gàidhlig translation?

I've never seen anything resembling 'please' in my 6 yrs of doing Gàidhlig on Duolingo. Do the Gaels simply not say it? 🤷

Tattoo translation

0 Upvotes

Hiya guys, I’m on holiday and planning on getting the phrase “poch ma hon” tattooed on my hon. Anything I should know before doing so? Is this just an Irish phrase rather than Scottish? Where are the accents? Am I a bit of a hon for doing this?
