The course will concentrate on the acquisition of essential grammar and vocabulary and will build on previous knowledge to further develop ability across all four linguistic skills. In the language classes, students will learn the structures, vocabulary, sounds and writing system of Gaelic. In the oral class, students will have an opportunity to practise speaking, develop their vocabulary further, and listen to a native speaker.
This course may not be taken by students who qualify for Gaelic Language 1B or any other more advanced courses.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
