Summary

Scottish Gaelic in Twelve Weeks has been written both as a self-tuition course for beginners and also for use within the classroom. You may want to learn Gaelic because of a general interest in Celtic or Scottish history and culture, or because it was the everyday language of your ancestors. The cynical observer may wonder if the exercise is worthwhile, when only 1.5 per cent of Scotland's population speak the language.
However, Gaelic is far from dead; in some parts of the Highlands and Western Isles it is the everyday language and it represents an important part of the United Kingdom's cultural mix. There are Gaelic-learning classes in almost every area of Scotland. Each lesson in the book contains some essential points of grammar explained and illustrated, exercises, a list of new vocabulary (with a guide to pronunciation, using the International Phonetics Alphabet), and an item of conversation.
This new edition includes an audio download link.
Available since: 02/02/2023.
Print length: 240 pages.

    Farhad, overwhelmed by excessive drinking, escapes the party and takes refuge in the bathroom. Ahmad, Farhad's close friend, joins him there. Both prefer the solitude of the bathroom over the celebration outside, choosing to spend their time in isolation. Ahmad believes the reason their friendship and deep bond have endured since adolescence is "honesty” and “transparency”. However, as they go through their past reflecting on their memories, signs such as mood swings, lack of focus, emotional instability, and particularly drowsiness, exacerbated by alcohol, begin to surface, reshaping their bond in their middle age. Unaware, the party is nearing its end, and the sun is beginning to rise.
