Welcome to Gaelic Word a Day!

Interest in Scottish Gaelic is on the rise.  As always, it’s a question of time to learn.  Check in at Scottish Gaelic: Word a Day, to learn a little at a time.

I am using sources and pronunciations culled from all over the internet, my own collection of Gaelic courses and dictionaries, and a collection of CD’s in Gaelic.  Disclaimer:  I am a learner myself.  Although I double-and triple-check, and use a wide variety of resources online and off, I may make grammatical errors on occasion.  I do this for fun and motivation in my own learning.

If you’re new to the site, start from the first lesson and work your way through.  Or just click on the latest to keep going.  I am always looking for ways to improve the site and more links to share, so please leave a comment if you have suggestions.
