4.0 out of 5 stars Review of Scottish Gaelic in 3 Months, February 10, 2000

By 

Wendy McInnis (canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Scottish Gaelic in Three Months (Hugo's Three Month Language Series) (Paperback)

To Whom it May Concern: We are using this book in our Gaelic class, here in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. We have used other books, but have found this one to be the best. It is clearly written, easy to understand, and we are making progress quickly, more quickly than we hoped. We like to make up short stories, conversations, and translate very easy stories and songs. I would like to recommend this book to anyone wishing to learn very basic Gaelic quickly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Scottish Gaelic in Three Months, February 8, 2000

By 

Robert Whelan (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Scottish Gaelic in Three Months (Hugo's Three Month Language Series) (Paperback)

Tha an leabhar gle' mhath! It really makes learning Gaelic easy, with a minimum of grammar terms which are unfamiliar to most people. Only the basics are taught, with non-essential points left out. Especially good for a Gaelic speaker as a brush-up, but is excellent for anyone who wants to quickly obtain a good knowledge of the modern Scottish Gaelic language. Suas leis a' Ghaidhlig!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gaelic for the totally inept, November 4, 2000

This review is from: Hugo Language Course: Scottish Gaelic In Three Months (with Cassettes) (Paperback)

That's me, when it comes to learning a new language. I could never really understand what was necessary, nor make the connections needed to learn new languages with any skill. This course made it very easy and I am amazed that I was able to pick up the very daunting (at first) Scottish Gaelic language. I highly recommend both the book and the tapes. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't do one without the other. This is a very good program!
