This is a new course to SMO which is ideal for intermediate learners who wish to improve their conversation skills.  Tutored by Muriel Fisher, a native Gaelic speaker from Skye who has been teaching Gaelic in the Tucson Gaelic Institute, the University of Arizona, Sabhal Mòr Ostaig and around the world for the past 20 years.  Her fun and light-hearted approach to teaching makes learning Gaelic an enjoyable and natural experience.

Each day will start with a morning conversation session, leading to a short excursion around different areas of the Sleat Peninsula, learning new vocabulary from the local surroundings.   Afternoon sessions will recap all new vocabulary learnt and practise them using different conversation skills.  Topics discussed during the course might include nature, history, social interests amongst others.   It is intended that students will build up a repertoire of new words and phrases which will help build confidence to enable students to have a fuller and more detailed conversations.

To participate in this course, students should have completed SMO Short Course Levels 4, 5 or 6, or their equivalent elsewhere, and be able hold a detailed conversation using basic structures.
