Introduction

Welcome to The Sounds of Scottish Gaelic. This is an online version built on the lessons written by Prof. Roibeard Ó Maolalaigh, who formerly lectured at Edinburgh University and taught students the sounds of Gaelic. Gaelic is a rather complex language from the point of its phonology and even though it might seem troublesome, there is a point to studying the proper pronunciation - unless one would like to keep the "Blas na Beurla" - your "English accent".

Here you will get both explanations of how to produce these sounds and sound files of them (MP3). The lessons are divided into 13 sections which you will find in the navbar below. Click on a section, read the instructions and listen to the sound files.

Chaidh tàr-sgrìobhaidhean a dheasachadh airson 25 clàran bho dhiofar sgìrean agus de dhiofar chuspairean, le pìosan-obrach nan cois. Tha na clàran, a chaidh a thogail bho na 1930an gu 2005, a' tighinn à trì cruinneachaidhean: Tasglann Sgoil Eòlais na h-Alba (Oilthigh Dhùn Èideann); Cruinneachadh Chanaigh agus BBC Alba. Nam measg tha sgeulachdan, òrain, ceòl, bàrdachd agus fiosrachadh de gach seòrsa.

Students without an SQA pass in Gaelic must satisfy the college of their ability in Gaelic

Places will be offered following an interview with the Course Leader to assess fluency in Gaelic

For applicants with little or no previous knowledge of Gaelic, Sabhal Mòr Ostaig offers An Cùrsa Inntrigidh, a distance learning course which aims to prepare students for entry to year one of the degrees.

Sabhal Mòr Ostaig is the Gaelic College on the Isle of Skye and Scotland's national centre for Gaelic. The Cùrsa Adhartais, or Progress Course, is a distance learning Gaelic course for Intermediate Learners. It is the distance equivalent to doing the Cùrsa Comais at the College.

Description

An Cùrsa Adhartais is aimed at intermediate level learners whose goal is fluency in the language. It is a Distance Learning course which normally requires a minimum of two years to complete and is broadly equivalent to Sabhal Mòr Ostaig's An Cùrsa Comais. The main focus is on language skills, both speaking and writing, but a subject will be introduced in the second year of the course. Students can also choose to come to Sabhal Mòr Ostaig on one of the course's optional Weekend Schools to meet and speak Gaelic with fellow students.

The course is at Level 1 of UHI's Gaelic and Related Studies Degree program, and on successful completion of the course, students will be awarded a Certificate of Higher Education from the University of the Highlands and Islands Millennium Institute.

Most of the learning is by self-study using workbooks and soundfiles in preparation for a weekly or twice-weekly structured telephone tutorial. These tutorials are an integral part of the course and allow contact with fellow students and a course tutor. As a rough average, students will spend around 15-20 hours per week in total on all learning activities connected with the course. Remember though that these are only averages - everybody is different, with their own pace.

Student Handbook & Module Descriptors

An Cùrsa Adhartas is made up of seven sequential modules: six language modules and then a subject module. All the modules are taught through the medium of Gaelic.

Entry Requirements

Successful recent completion of An Cùrsa Inntrigidh is the standard entry point for An Cùrsa Adhartais. Alternatively, students will be permitted entry to the course with two Highers or equivalent plus completion of a written assessment and oral interview to gauge whether the applicants' prior learning is broadly equivalent to the pre-requisite level. Students will also need access to a computer and printer, a telephone, a headset with integrated microphone and have internet connection. In order to make the most of An Cùrsa Adhartais we recommend that students upgrade to the latest versions of programmes and that their computer meets the correct specifications.

Mìrean - Gràmar na Gàidhlig

Tha Mìrean a' toirt stiùireadh air:

na prìomh phàtrain ann an gràmar na Gàidhlig

mar a dh'fhaodas tidsearan an teagasg agus an daingneachadh sa chlas.

Tha e air a mholadh gun cuir sgoiltean ri chèile prògram cànain stèidhte air Mìrean a bheir Gàidhlig sgoilearan air adhart ceum air cheum, o sgoil-àraich gu àrd-sgoil.

Bu chòir seo a bhith a' gabhail a-steach:

'leasain' cànain air an dèanamh gach latha (no co-dhiù gu cunbhalach)

teagasg agus daingneachadh cànain an lùib obair àbhaisteach a' chlas.

Airson an dà dhòigh-obrach sin fhighe na chèile, tha e air a mholadh gun cuir sgoiltean air dòigh prògram de 'thargaidean cànain', far a bheil pàtran àraidh (no seata phàtrain) air a thaghadh mar thargaid airson clas no buidheann airson ùine àraidh - mar eisimpleir, seachdain (no nas fhaide) no an ùine a bhios pròiseact àraidh a' ruith. [Anns na pìosan-obrach ann am Mìrean tha an abairt 'Pàtran na Seachdain' air a chleachdadh mar aithghearrachd ach faodaidh iad toirt nas fhaide, no nas giorra, na seachdain.]

Faodar na targaidean a thaghadh airson gu bheil na sgoilearan a' faighinn nam pàtran sin doirbh no gu bheil iad a' dol le cuspair àraidh (e.g. 'bhiodh' le eachdraidh) no dìreach gu bheil iad nam pàirt de phrògram na sgoile airson Gàidhlig aig an ìre sin.

Fhad 's a tha an targaid a' ruith, bu chòir am pàtran cànain sin a bhith air a theagasg agus air a dhaingeachadh gu tric agus ann an caochladh dhòighean, nam measg:

teagasg dìreach

a bhith a' tarraing aire gu mearachdan agus gan ceartachadh gu cunbhalach

obair èisteachd, labhairt, leughaidh agus sgrìobhaidh tarsainn air a' churraicealam

dòighean iomchaidh eile

Sabhal Mòr Ostaig is the Gaelic College on the Isle of Skye and Scotland's national centre for Gaelic. The Cùrsa Inntrigidh, or Access Course, is a distance learning Gaelic course for complete beginners.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Award: Distance Learning
Study Mode: Distance Learning, Part-time
Course Contact: Distance Learning Team astar@smo.uhi.ac.uk

Description

An Cùrsa Inntrigidh is a supported distance learning Gaelic course for complete beginners and learners with a little Gaelic. The emphasis during learning is on speaking and listening skills, but reading and writing skills are also an important part of the course.

Course materials are accessed online and consist of study workbooks, sound files (or CDs) and tutorial workbooks. Most of the learning is through self-study while weekly telephone tutorials allow contact with other course students and a tutor, and allow students to practice what they have been learning. Further conversation practice and revision is available on one of the course's optional Weekend Schools, normally held at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig.

On completion of the course, and having participated fully in its learning programme students should be able to use Gaelic reasonably confidently and will be eligible for entry to a first year University Level Gaelic course taught through Sabhal Mòr Ostaig. For further details on this, please see An Cùrsa Comais and An Cùrsa Adhartais.

An Cùrsa Inntrigidh was awarded a CILT European Language Award in 2004 and the Routledge Prize for Adult Learners in recognition of its innovative approach to distance delivered second language learning.

Student Handbook 2019-20

Course Content

An Cùrsa Inntrigidh is a self-study tutor-supported Gaelic course for beginners made up of three parts - Earrann 1, 2 and 3. There are a number of start dates between August and June each year. See timetables below.

Study and weekly tutorials

Course materials are accessed online and consist of study workbooks, soundfiles (or CDs) and tutorial workbooks and make up a carefully structured learning programme.

Students learn in their own time in advance of a weekly group telephone tutorial. The tutorials are an essential part of the course, allowing students to practice and use what they have learnt and are led by experienced tutors. Each tutorial lasts about 45 minutes. Read and listen to a sample exercise here

Certificate of completion

In order to gain a Sabhal Mòr Ostaig certificate of completion, students are required, for each part of the course, to pass assessments and to attain a minimum of 60% attendance at tutorials.

Assessments

Assessments are an important part of the learning process and are issued at the end of each part of the course. For further information refer to the An Cùrsa Inntrigidh Student handbook above.

On successful completion of the course students may, subject to interview, gain entry to An Cùrsa Comais or progress to An Cùrsa Adhartais.

Extra study

A C2 level language user would be able to use Gaelic in a professional context, to work through the language. At this stage learning is an ongoing process of practice and expanding vocabulary, perhaps in older texts, poetry and novels. C2 level would describe competent native speakers as well as new language users.
