Everyday Gaelic with CD: Morag MacNeill, Author

Everyday Gaelic has been compiled by an author with many years’ experience in teaching the language to adults and children. In addition to basic words and phrases, it also includes more complex and idiomatic material, all arranged thematically and covering topics such as meeting and greeting, travelling, the weather and eating and drinking. There are also clearly explained sections on grammar and imitated pronunciation for all Gaelic words and phrases. The result is an accessible and useful book which will be of benefit to all levels and ages of Gaelic learners. This is a new and updated edition of the bestselling title, now includes an Audio CD to improve pronounciation and comprehension. Designed to be used with or without the accompaniment of the Everyday Gaelic book, this 80-minute-long CD features Gaelic phrases spoken by native speakers and arranged by topic.

Everyday Gaelic is more than a foreign phrase book. Since English is also spoken in the Gaelic-speaking areas, communication in Gaelic is not so much a matter of necessity as of choice and interest. Hopefully it will serve the non-speaker of Gaelic who wishes to utter the odd phrase and get an idea of the language, the person whose parents spoke Gaelic and who understands it but is unwilling to ‘try his hand’, and also the keen learner, who might like to gain a greater scope of everyday phrases than those contained in grammar books of the language.
