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.

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.

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.

I listen on my iPod while i walk and am slowly learning some simple greetings...but enjoy it a lot and the process used to teach the language is very effective.
