Complete Gaelic

by Boyd Robertson

Do you want to be able to listen to, speak, read and write Gaelic confidently? Do you want the convenience of being able to learn at home or on the move? Whether you are starting from scratch, or are just out of practice, Teach Yourself Complete Gaelic – Touch & Listen will guarantee success!

Touch & Listen ebooks are a groundbreaking new approach to language learning that include recordings of pronunciation and conversations within the pages of the books themselves – right where you need them.

In the past you used to have to juggle separate books and CDs/MP3s to master listening, speaking, reading and writing. Not anymore. Thanks to the latest enhanced ebook technology, you can learn and practise all four language skills plus grammar and vocabulary from a single ebook that you can read and listen to on your tablet device or smartphone. First, touch the on-screen play buttons and listen to native speakers conversing on scores of current topics. Then rewind. Or pause. Whatever you need to do to make sure you’ve fully understood what you have just listened to. When you are ready, complete the activities with the convenient notes feature. You are in control. It’s that simple.

STRUCTURE The course is structured in thematic units based on real-life situations and with an emphasis on communication, so that you effortlessly progress from introducing yourself and dealing with everyday situations, to using the phone and talking about work.

Begin september ontdekte ik dat je met Duolingo Gaelic kan leren. Al snel ontdekte ik dat je voor grammaticale regels en verhaaltjes toch eigenlijk wel een boek nodig hebt. De keuze viel op deze. Het audio materiaal is te beluisteren via https://library.teachyourself.com/vie... Verder zijn de video's van Jason Bond uit Maine op YouTube erg handig. Waarom een Nederlandse vrouw Gaelic wil leren? Oorspronkelijk om te weten hoe je de citaten in Outlander uitspreekt! Inmiddels omdat ik het zo mooi vind klinken.

Toevoeging: vandaag kreeg ik van Duolingo de melding dat ik 28 dagen bezig ben, wat er teruggerekend op neerkomt dat ik 3 september begonnen ben.

A great way to teach yourself Scottish Gaelic. Can't really do it without the CDs however! They really jump ahead into specific vocabulary quite quickly...

The book is fine, and a useful component of learning the language. Pretty useless without the audio though, and the 'Complete' book on Kindle doesn't include it, so low rating
