When I started learning Gaelic, all I had were some very old dictionaries and "Dwelly". Now Dwelly is superb one you're fluent and are looking at place names and stuff like that but if you're reading "litir do luchd-ionnsachaidh" in the Free Press or modern books, it's no use at all. Enter this dictionary. It's full of modern day idioms and up to date meanings, including IT terms. If you're a learner and are serious about being able to read Gaelic in the paper and books. Get this dictionary!
