The boat man I first heard it by Capercaillie many years ago. Love Gaelic and Gaelige and Cymreig

What an interesting lecture, and so clearly argued and illustrated. Thank you for making it publicly available.

This seems lovely. The language is beautiful, the program and people seem so inviting, and the landscapes are astounding. I’m incredibly interested in the beginner course and the summer school and gaining the necessary skills to do this program!

I love this. Didn't understand a word, but with my eyes closed I could instantly tell it was a Celtic language from these isles. Sounds so similar to Cymraeg that it just pulls at my heart strings. A song filled with hiraeth. Diolch yn fawr o Gymru.

Beautiful music, Sorry it was a Samsung commercial.

Iontach, is breá liom é, tá glór álainn aic

O, bha sin brèagha

I studied Gaelic at Sabhal Mor Ostaig with my father (he was in the intermediate class and I was a beginner!) in the summer of 1996. Lovely memories, including us all singing 'Illean Bithibh Sunndach' while one of the teachers, a young blond man, played the accordeon, and a Welsh woman possibly called Ffran singing a Welsh song about a woman in a coffin with a ring. (I still have a good friend from that long-ago class.) My father often sang Fear a Bhata to me, and other Gaelic songs (his grandfather was a native speaker who came 'down south' to Glasgow, but my grandfather didn't get it natively). I still haven't been able to find some of the songs we sang at Sabhal Mor - one of these days I may work up the gumption to call and sing them through the phone so someone there can dispel the mystery! I remember the tunes but I can't find the bit of paper they handed out that bore the lyrics on it. Anyway - I'm happy that these traditions are kept alive. My father is gone and I'll never again hear him singing this, but other voices will continue to sing in his place.

I am trying to find out who is the artist singing in this song?

I know only greeting and acknowledging words in my mother tongue, it does make me feel shame not being able to hold a conversation with nativer speakers.

Beautiful 🌿💐🇬🇧

Fìor mhath!

Glè inntinneach. Mòran taing airson na bhideothan seo.

Tha fios agam gu bheil seo ceart oir gur e oileanach a bh' annam aig SMO!

Sgoinneil! Ach… as a person with hearing loss, I’m begging for captions/subtitles in Gàidhlig. I can only catch facal no dhà here and there. Subtitles are invaluable for matching the spoken word to the written words. It would help all learners, not just the deaf and hard of hearing.

Great promo, must be a wonderful place to study! Hoping to there one day.

He was magical…wish we could turn the clock back….those were the days!

Hi. Is toil leam seo. Love it. I'm from Ireland but my daughter is part Scottish so I'm trying to expand my knowledge of Gaelic across the sea. I sing this song and it seems most versions out there is actually Irish people messing up the pronunciation and just doing it in Irish and I don't want to do that. Can you tell me are you from a Gaelteacht area and if so what dialect you'd be singing in here ?? Míle buíchas - mòran taing!

Wonderful, interesting to hear a strathspey on flute, gle math Seamus

👏 Tha meas mòr agam air an t-Sabhal Mhòr, 's e a' toirt taic do thòrr luchd-ionnsachaidh na Gàidhlig agus do dh'fheadhainn eile a tha airson na seann sgilean-cànain agus na seann fhreumhan a chumail beò. Math fhèin!

What is the name of t,his ceòl mòr ?

Beautiful

Sorry to be a bit fadalach to the party, but I'm a new learner and would like to know if there are Gaidhlig courses for healthcare professionals?? Tapadh leibh!

Feasgar math! Is this type of course (immersion) 'do-able' for someone who does not hear very well?? There are multiple nuances with the Gaidhlig language and the phonetics challenges me unless it is accompanied by the written language. Thanks!

Chan eil cuimhne agam a-nist cà an do leugh mi e, ach tha mi dearbhta gu bheil alt ann an àiteigin anns a bheil an sgoilear a' cumail a-mach gun deach a' chiall 'elk' no 'moose' no 'fiadh ach fada nas motha' fhàgail air an fhacal lon le faclairichean is seann sgoilearan eile dan leithid, mar nàdar de 'reusanachadh' air na bhathas a' cluinnteil sna seann sgeulachdan mun lon (car an aon smuain a bh' aig Meg mun fhacal san sgeul seo), ach gur e lon san t-seagh àbhaisteach a bha e a' ciallachadh bho thùs, mar a bha Alasdair ga thuigsinn an seo. Faic cuideachd 'Mac an Luin' is 'Lon mac Lìomhainn' am famhair.

My daughter in law is of Irish descent and interested in learning Gaelic. I shared this video with her and she may contact you soon. Skal!

Sounds very similar to massacre of glencoe in many ways

Beautiful sounding and aesthetic Lawrie pipe

Gach rath oraibh ó Ghaillimh ;)

Chan eil, gu dearbh, àite nas fheàrr airson do chuid Ghàidhlig leasachadh... Ach tha ana'-cothrom ann.'S bochd nach urrainn do a h-uile duine a thighinn dhan Eeilan Sgitheanach

Àlainn, àlainn, dìreach àlainn ✨

Wonderful playing with those redondant Taorluath and crunluath ! What a beautiful tune

Yes i was there and i learned to speak very good after the year

Just starting to learn Gàidhlig, nice that I understood some words. Definitely challenging to learn at 57 yrs old. Found out about 10 years ago while doing genealogy that I had a lot of Scottish ancestors, confirmed it when I did genetic testing and found I was still, over 50% Scottish. Hoping to travel to Alba in next few years, be amazing to speak to native speakers.

I've been (informally) learning Gàidhlig for about 2 years.....and I'm excited to find I can actually make out a bit of what she's saying! 😃

Sgoinneil

Tha seo a' coimhead mìorbhaileach! Bu toil leam a bhith ann aon latha.

My great grand parents left Scotland over 100 years ago to immigrate to Canada. They were MacDonalds from the Isle of Skye. I’d like to think that Kylie is a distant cousin. Lol! I recently took an interest in learning Gaidhlig, something my family lost three generations ago.

Math Fhein! Bha an seinn iongantach, agus an taic-ciùil foirfe. Bidh e a’ cur crith sìos mo dhruim. Tha mi an dòchas barrachd ceòl mar seo a chluinntinn. (Tha mi duilich. Chan eil mo Ghàidhlig as fheàrr fhathast.)

The MacDonalds- " By Sea and By Land" Per Mare per Terras

Exquisite!!! 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Mill a h-uile rud!!!! yay!

Mòran taing!
