This weekend Gaelic Course for Intermediate Learners will build upon Gaelic vocabulary and structures and work towards language development in order to hold more detailed conversation.  Tutors will aim to enhance individual abilities and there will be opportunities to practice conversation skills throughout the course.  An example of the course outline is shown below:

  • To ask someone not to do something using the command structures of Na ___ !  e.g. Na fosgail an doras;
  • The genitive case with male and female names and to express people’s possessions as, e.g. bràthair Iain;
  • To tell and ask about what something is or will be like; or who or what someone is like, e.g. What/Who is Jim like?; What’ll that town be like?;
  • To describe things as being like or unlike one another, and to ask whether they are or will be, e.g. Iain is like his brother Donald;
  • To tell and ask about what people usually/ normally do, with reference to pastimes, hobbies and other activities, e.g. Do you swim?;
  • Prepositional pronouns based on the preposition ri, to tell and ask about who people are listening to, talking to or who they are with, e.g. They’re not listening to him (all variants rium, riut, ris, rithe, rinn, ribh, riutha) e.g. Chan eil iad ag èisteachd ris
  • Cuin, Carson, Dè, Ciamar, Cò and Càite structures with known tenses of the verb ‘to be’, to ask how, what, when, who, why and where things happen or will happen, e.g. Cuin a bhios tu a’ ruith
  • Gu bheil, nach eil, gum bi, nach bi linking structures of the verb ‘to be’ in all known tenses, to add clauses like “I think (that)” or “Someone said (that)” to statements such as “someone is doing/is going to do something e.g. Tha mi a’ smaoineachadh gum bi an t-uisge ann feasgar;

The Course will be held in An Roth Community Enterprise Centre, and will run on Friday 15th & Saturday 16th February 2013, with classes from 10am until 4.30pm both days.
