As a child in America, my grandparents were immigrants of Scotland, who used a bit of Gaelic when they were around us. I found it exciting to have our own "private" language when we visited with them. When me Dah died in 2009, that was the finally time I ever used it especially when I & me Nan took his body back to Scotland; my Nan doesn't speak it at all with the us anymore. But because I've been a bartender with a passion for whisky my whole adult life, I have used this past 2 years contemplating the sort of "need" to learn the whole language. I feel every time I work behind the bar, talking with patrons about whisky, I feel me Dah's spirit who taught me his basic understanding of the drink & pride of the drink. One day, I want to go back to Scotland and discover what me Dah missed during his time raised there he felt he wasn't getting out of and coming to America. Maybe he just needed to be a bartender.

It's exciting how much of the Gàidhlig conversation between the woman and the little boy I can understand!

In Welsh we also say small house (ty bach) and it has the same meaning - toilet.

Really enjoying these, I live close to where Greek Thomson was buried and its nice to hear about him mentioned in this series alongside the informative guides!

Tha mi à Sealainn Nuadh. Rugadh mise ann an Wellington. Tha mi a'fuireach ann an Auckland!

I had no idea Michael was from Canada…it took me a while to pick it up 🤣

Stunning.

I find it quite humorous that the Canadian is carrying a caman. 'S e Canèidianach a th' annam agus chluich mi hocaidh deigh fhein.

What was Clare's favourite phrase?

The pronunciation of “ann an” keeps throwing me off! It’s always the smaller words that can catch you off guard haha

Tha mi à Aimearaga. Tha mi a' fureach ann an Utah. I am hoping to be fluent at some point because of my heritage and I love the language.

this mm this happens in cape Breton. We have Gaelic teaching but the pupils feel that this is not a cool thing to do.

How did Clare say perfect at 10:35 ?"Di---- sgoinneil"? Something like that.

Gaelic is a group of three languages: Irish, Manx and Scottish.

Sgoinneil
