Sgilean Sgrìobhaidh Gàidhlig

Gaelic cartoon

A new and unique internet-based course for those wishing to fine-tune their Gaelic writing skills.

Sgilean Sgrìobhaidh Gàidhlig consists of nine modules, each dealing with a different aspect of Gaelic grammar or language use. The course, which is presented in visual format by the National Union of Journalists, is entirely in Gaelic, and is designed for those who already speak and/or read the language fluently. It starts with a section which introduces the student to the Gaelic vocabulary associated with grammar and then takes him or her (working individually) through modules on the accurate usage and writing of nouns, including case, and of how to deal with adjectives when they qualify nouns. At each stage there are exercises which test the student’s understanding of the topic.

The course, which was designed by Gaelic journalist and broadcaster, Ruairidh MacIlleathain, also deals with prepositional pronouns, verbs (including the passive), modern punctuation and spelling conventions, and it has a section on style and idiom in Gaelic writing, as well as a final module concentrating on analysing and correcting mistakes in copy. The cost of the course is £225.00 which includes full tutor support from Sabhal Mor Ostaig college in Skye and accreditation.
