2.0 out of 5 stars Very exciting, if you want to learn to tell the time., April 19, 2004

This review is from: Talk Now! Learn Scots Gaelic - Beginning Level (CD-ROM)

Well, there's scarcely 10 verbs, many international words in it, like Cola, burgher, a.s.o. .
It doesn't teach anything about verbs, clauses, mutations, prepositions, and all that silly stuff that make you really able to carry on a conversation and to say what you mean.
However, if you want to spend a little time instead of dozing, and don't pretend to learn a language, there's nothing better- save, perhaps, crossword puzzles.
If you know a bit of Gaelic, the only difficuilt game is telling the time, and it's the one that teaches you some phrases you can use ( unless you have bad luck and decide to say I was stolen my passport in Scottish Gaelic- better you don't, anyway you can speak English with cops ).
I admit I said something slightly different in Amazon.co.uk.
As a matter of fact, the more I study Scottish Gaelic, the less I appreciate that game.
If you want to learn Scottish gaelic, try something else- like Colloquial Scottish, by Kathleen Spadaro et al.

This review is from: Talk Now! Learn Scots Gaelic - Beginning Level (CD-ROM)

I purchased this item so that I could learn Gaelic from a beginner's perspective. I was thinking that it would start out so that a child could learn the language. It acutally started out speaking paragraphs and quite fast so that I could not understand what was going on right from the beginning. Compared to the Rosetta Stone program I purchased, this one is not worth the money.
