Scottish Gaelic is one of six modern Celtic languages, which, like most other European languages, belong to the Indo-European family of languages. The older versions of the modern Celtic languages were spoken in a large part of Europe at the height of Celtic civilisation. This book/CD course is designed for anyone who wants to progress quickly from the basics to understanding, speaking and writing Scottish Gaelic with confidence. 'Teach Yourself Gaelic' consists of 23 thematic units progressing from introducing yourself and talking about everyday topics to reporting events and making suggestions. The emphasis is on communication throughout with important language structures introduced through dialogues on the accompanying recording. There are plenty of exercises to practise the language as it is introduced and cultural information sections give useful advice about the culture of Gaelic-speaking people. There is a special section on spelling and pronunciation at the start of the course.
