Review
"I am a big fan of this series. Commercial packaging, simple concept and a competitive price make these well worth trying....One to watch." (The Bookseller )
This is a good resource that can be used alongside the book Teach Yourself Gaelic or by itself as a separate resource. There are ten conversations, between getting to know people, going to the pub, and giving opinions on pictures in a museum, and the Gaelic is clear and natural.[...]If you're looking for a Christmas present for the spouse or friend who wants to improve their Gaelic conversation, this could fit the bill.
(Cli Gàidhlig )Product Description
This stand-alone, all-audio course can be used by those who have little or no knowledge of the language, by those who want to learn or brush up basic conversation skills, and by more advanced learners who require extra audio material to complement their current courses.
The ten units or 'conversations' cover the situations you are most likely to find yourself in. They are divided into two parts, with a dialogue in each part. The dialogue in Part 2 reuses the vocabulary and phrases from Part 1 in a slightly different context. Both parts start with an introduction to the words and phrases you'll need, followed by the dialogue. Finally it's 'Over to you': you take part in the same dialogues following the English prompts, playing all the roles in turn. So you get lots of opportunity to practise! Frequent track markers divide the CDs up into short, easy-to-use clips.
Vocabulary and phrases in the first two CDs are kept to the basics and are introduced gradually with lots of opportunity to repeat and practise, to improve your confidence in both speaking and understanding. The third CD concentrates on helping you improve your understanding, so that you will be able to hold two-way conversations with people who speak very fast or use words and phrases you do not know.
The course comes on three 75-minute CDs and has an accompanying 48-page booklet which gives the dialogues and the translations of the dialogues, for those who like to see the written word or want additional practice. The booklet also provides a basic glossary of the words and phrases used.
This is the perfect complement to 'Gaelic' in the 'Teach Yourself' series.

For many years I've wondered why we were not taught Gaelic at school. Now I'm out in Australia and I can see the same thing happening to the aborigines - their languages are not being taught in school. This CD set is a great way to save the Scots Gaelic from disappearing like the Mayan language.

The book is fantastically helpful but unfortunately Bargain Books let me down badly. I never received this book from you and had to buy it from Waterstones who were very helpful in getting it.

Good Accompaniment for "Teach Yourself Gaelic Complete Course"
15 Dec 2008
Format:Audio CD
I'm using this with "Teach Yourself Gaelic Complete Course", and it's very good for extra practice. My only complaints are the dialogues. They're not very lively and are a bit monotone. The dialogues in the complete course are much livelier.

Good but NOT the book conversations!
5 Nov 2009
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
These CDS are not the conversations in the Teach Yourself Gaelic book! So don't expect to buy them and use them to follow the lessons in the book. THey are good cds and the the booklet helps you learn basic phrases in a conversational mode, but they can't be used with the larger book. That is disappointing and the cover is misleading because you can't tell that these CDs are not the same as those that come with the book in a set. Otherwise, great to use the CDs for learning how to say many things in Gaelic.

Excellent Help-Highly recommended
29 Aug 2009
Format:Audio CD
This conversation set is an excellent help to learning and practicing Scottish Gaelic especially if you live far from any other people or group that share your interest in learning this language. Speakers are easy to hear and follow. Conversation content is very useful and relevant to real-life interaction. The written booklet helps the English speaker begin to make the connection between the sounds of Gaelic and its very unique spelling method. Highly recommended.
