Learn Gaelic in just 10 lessons!

Perfect for complete beginners or those who want to brush up on the language, Teach Yourself Gaelic Conversation encourages you to speak out loud from the very start. It features 10 topics that include 15 key words, three useful phrases, and one grammar point. Two sample conversations bring all those elements together correctly. There are plenty of review opportunities, so you can gauge your progress and reinforce what you have learned. In addition, the third CD provides invaluable guidance on holding two-way conversations, addressing such issues as speaking with people who talk very fast or use words and phrases you do not know.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Accompaniment for "Teach Yourself Gaelic Complete Course", December 15, 2008

This review is from: Teach Yourself Gaelic Conversation (3 CDs + Booklet) (TY: Conversation) (Audio CD)

I'm using this with "Teach Yourself Gaelic Complete Course", and it's very good for extra practice. My only complaints are the dialogues. They're not very lively and are a bit monotone. The dialogues in the complete course are much livelier.

This review is from: Teach Yourself Gaelic Conversation (3 CDs + Booklet) (TY: Conversation) (Audio CD)

These CDS are not the conversations in the Teach Yourself Gaelic book! So don't expect to buy them and use them to follow the lessons in the book. THey are good cds and the the booklet helps you learn basic phrases in a conversational mode, but they can't be used with the larger book. That is disappointing and the cover is misleading because you can't tell that these CDs are not the same as those that come with the book in a set. Otherwise, great to use the CDs for learning how to say many things in Gaelic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Help-Highly recommended, August 29, 2009

This review is from: Teach Yourself Gaelic Conversation (3 CDs + Booklet) (TY: Conversation) (Audio CD)

This conversation set is an excellent help to learning and practicing Scottish Gaelic especially if you live far from any other people or group that share your interest in learning this language. Speakers are easy to hear and follow. Conversation content is very useful and relevant to real-life interaction. The written booklet helps the English speaker begin to make the connection between the sounds of Gaelic and its very unique spelling method. Highly recommended.
