Taibhsean? / Ghosts?

Taibhsean agus rudan os-nàdurra. 'S e cuspair a thogadh inntinn daoine 's dòcha cho fad 's a tha sinn air a bhith air an talamh. Chan eil mi cinnteach a bheil seann taigh, àite eachdraidheil no làrach cliùiteach air nach bi naidheachd no dhà orra.

Saoilidh mi gu tric cho tlachdmhor 's a tha e bhith 'g obair ann an saoghal na Gàidhlig, agus 's e a' phrìomh aobhar a th' ann na daoine gasda ris an tachair thu.

Mar a bhios mi teagasg na Gàidhlig air loidhne leis an Acadamaidh Gàidhlig an Atlantaig, cuiridh mi an aithne air iomadh duine á àiteachan céin, eadar Aimeiriaga a Tuath, Roinn Eòrpa, an Deas Roinn agus Aisia - agus a h-uile neach aca ri ionnsachadh na Gàidhlig!

I recently had the good fortune of spending a day at the Highland Village in Iona. My mom and two girls joined me for a trip back in time to a living history museum and cultural centre that celebrates the Gaelic experience in Nova Scotia for settlers from the mid 1700’s through to the early 1900’s.

Angus MacLeod — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 11:43:48 +0000

O chionn ghreis chuir mi seachad dà latha ri teagasg òrain Ghàidhlig do chloinn aig An Roinn Cheilteach de 'n Sgoil Dhannsaidh aig Ceallaigh Nic Artair ann an Cnoc an Iar, Ceap Breatainn. 'S e dannsairean a bh' anns a' mhór-chuid dhe na sgoilearan agus bha 'ad air an togail le bhith dannsadh do sheinn seach inneal ciùil. Rinneadh co-cheangladh glan eadar cànan 'is ceòl 'is dannsa, agus a' chlann 'gan ionnsachadh uile.

Although it is early to say for sure what the finest musical highlights will be on Cape Breton Island this summer, there is one concert that is guaranteed to be especially enjoyable because not only the music, but the view, is second to none in the world!

Càit' an Cluinnear a' Ghàidhlig ann an Ceap Breatainn?/ Where Can Gaelic Be Heard in Cape Breton?

Angus MacLeod — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 14:17:59 +0000
