This a well structured book and allows the user to learn at your own pace.
Well worth the money, makes learning simple and straight-forward.
As a result I have purchased the German course to start on it.
Pity about the cassettes rather than CD's though.

I got Hugo's Gaelic in Three Months and started using it about two weeks ago. To explain a bit about the book (which I am about a third of the way through), it starts with basic grammar and ensures a good understanding of the structure of the language before going any further. For any non-Gaelic speakers reading this, Gaelic is a language which is VERY unlike English. It is a Verb Subject Object language, where English is a Subject Verb Object language. This could be quite confusing, but I feel that this book makes it very easy to understand.
The book recommends an hour a day to get through the book in three months, and the lessons are split into smaller topics, which makes it very easy to refer back to a particular part. Therefore, it would also make a good reference tool after everything in the book has been learnt.
I did not buy the cassette pack, as I have easy access to Gaelic media via radio and TV. I would, however, recommend the tapes for anyone who doesn't have access to these or anyone who doesn't already have a Scottish accent. Some of the sounds in Gaelic can be quite difficult to master for a foreigner.
The book itself is a great study aid, as it has questions through every lesson and the answers are at the back. Great to check exactly what you HAVE learnt.
All in all, I would recommend this book, especially for people who have absolutely no previous knowledge of the language (like me).

This book despertaley needs the cassette to go with it, without it there is absolutley no point to it, because the pronunciation guide is absolutley terrible, probably the worst I have ever seen. Basically I would say - get Teach Yourslef Gaelic with the tapes and not only will you have more fun, you'll learn better gaelic than this course offers in UNDER three months, get your pronunciation better and get better value for money £££!
