Overview
Immerse yourself in Scottish Gaelic, a 1500-year-old language that spread across the country as the main Scottish language of the medieval Kingdom of Alba.
In this new two-week course you will develop basic communication skills in the language, learning how to greet people, exchange personal details, talk about yourself and your daily life, as well as interact in common everyday situations (shops, restaurants, hotels, etc.). You will also develop basic cultural awareness of the areas where the language is spoken and also learn about the history, culture, music and customs of this centuries-old language.
