3.0 out of 5 stars Calder's Grammar - worth having, but not for beginners, January 21, 2005

This review is from: A Gaelic Grammar: Containing Parts of Speech and the General Principles of Phonology and Etymology With a Chapter on Proper and Place Names (Paperback)

Calder's grammar is well worth having for the advanced student of the language; It has a great deal of useful information that is not easily found in other sources. It is, however, rather difficult to read for both typographical and organizational reasons. The coverage of grammatical structure is very detailed, and has many examples. Calder assumes that the reader already has a fairly good knowledge of the language; A beginner would find this book extremely difficult to use. The grammar books by Michel Byrne would be a better choice for a beginner.
