19 Jun 02 - 02:36 AM (#732741) Subject: RE: Scots Gaelic lessons From: Haruo I don't see the Gaelic lessons, ljc. I see something that looks like it might be Gaelic lessons but is actually a 35-minute final segment of some series apparently ending in Autumn, with a Gaelic intro good for brushing up one's aural comprehension skills but hardly a lesson per se. Is there more that I'm not seeing? Not that I'm complaining, you understand, I enjoyed the show, but "lessons" it wasn't as I use the term. Líolaind |
19 Jun 02 - 03:00 AM (#732743) Subject: RE: Scots Gaelic lessons From: katlaughing Liland, did you see down the page a bit? There are 20 lessons archived which one may click on to listen and learn, though I am guessing with your knowledge and abilities it's a piece of cake for you, eh? I haven't listened to the first one, just clicked on the link to the last one before I saw the others down below.:-) kat |
19 Jun 02 - 04:37 AM (#732774) Subject: RE: Scots Gaelic lessons From: GUEST,Davetnova I can't see the lessons either. Please explain again how to reach them |
19 Jun 02 - 05:03 AM (#732780) Subject: RE: Scots Gaelic lessons From: Scabby Douglas Beag air bheag This should be a link to BBC Scotland's online tutorial to Gaelic... Cheers Steven |
19 Jun 02 - 05:50 AM (#732794) Subject: RE: Scots Gaelic lessons From: GUEST,Davetnova Thanks Doug, I found the other link but our proxy server or poxy server is playing up we had a power cut this morning and things are a bit strange acting just now. |
19 Jun 02 - 06:50 AM (#732816) Subject: RE: Scots Gaelic lessons From: Scabby Douglas Aye well - get back to work then and stop squandering yer company's resources surfing the bloody net... Oh, wait... that applies to me, too...

21 Jun 02 - 01:43 PM (#734350) Subject: RE: Scots Gaelic lessons From: Haruo Halò a lhjc agus Shcabby Dhoug! Tapadh leibh, both of you. The "Beag air bheag" link works okay (though I have to use the slower html version because the flash version runs off the bottom of the page and has no scroll bar) but I get an error message when I try to access any of the archived lessons at the InternetRadio site. The link to lesson 20 at the top of the page, as I mentioned previously, works, but the archived links (including #20) don't work at all. I guess I'll have to email them. BTW, when the man says "Tapadh leibh" there's a strong aspiration before the "p" (I noticed it in some other phrases, too, but most markedly in this one) as though it were spelt "Tachpa leibh". Is this a normal feature of Scottish Gaelic, or of some speakers' or regions' dialects, or is it a matter of the quality of the recording or my speakers, or what? Líolaind |
21 Jun 02 - 02:45 PM (#734364) Subject: RE: Scots Gaelic lessons From: weepiper Certainly normal for most dialects, Liland. Pre-aspiration I believe it's called. Mar sin leibh |
22 Jun 02 - 10:25 AM (#734714) Subject: RE: Scots Gaelic lessons From: Fiolar On a recent visit to PC World, I happened to see a CD entitled "Learn Scots Gaelic." |
22 Jun 02 - 10:33 AM (#734716) Subject: RE: Scots Gaelic lessons From: George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca Who was the publisher, Fiolar? |
23 Jun 02 - 05:40 AM (#735083) Subject: RE: Scots Gaelic lessons From: Fiolar George: Sorry, I didn't notice but it could have been have the "Focus" company who publish a lot of reasonably priced software. |
23 Jun 02 - 04:30 PM (#735317) Subject: RE: Scots Gaelic lessons From: Aodh In the case of "Tachpa leibh" it could be accent, my own would be "Tah-pa le-iv" |
24 Jun 02 - 02:54 PM (#735921) Subject: RE: Scots Gaelic lessons From: weepiper Aah, Aodh, but do you mean 'Ta' with no aspiration but with an emphasis, or do you mean 'Tah' with aspiration but less so than 'Tach'? :-) Tricky business this writing pronunciations. You can't easily write phonetic transcriptions on here either because the brackets are used in HTML. :-( Slan leibh |
24 Jun 02 - 02:59 PM (#735925) Subject: RE: Scots Gaelic lessons From: weepiper This just occurred to me... Here's CLI's excellent website (Comunn Luchd Ionnsachaidh - The (Gaelic) Learner's Society) |
30 Jun 02 - 07:02 PM (#739930) Subject: RE: Scots Gaelic lessons From: Aodh I mean that there would be no "CH" in it! The aspiration befor the "P" is not as strong as the "Tach" example, which could be from the North, or one of the larger Islands where the accent is a LOT stronger and more Norse! |
