I agree, it's good they're doing that. We've all got our roots and background, and having a kid learn more about what he and more about his history can only be beneficial IMO.

mangy1983 51 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 is it hard to learn.is irish and scotish gaelic different?? I was in the 2nd Gaelic medium primary school class in Scotland back in the 80's so am a native speaker and tbh l don't think its is too hard to learn. It also depends on the level you want to the learn the language at. Nowadays with this new wave of Gaelic with it being on the radio and having its own television channel there is a multitude of new words being added to update the language to the extent that even the old boys who know the language inside out have difficulty understanding! Just to add as with any language as Bogger obviously has learn the rude and dirty words first! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
