[English follows Gaelic]

Feasgar math,

Cuimhnich gu bheil faidhle-fuaime na cuairt-litreach seo air Soundcloud, dh’fhaodadh tu èisteachd rithe aig an aon àm. Ma leughas tu a’ chuairt-litir seo air do choimpiutair gheibh thu teacsa Beurla ann an colbh ri taobh an teacsa Gàidhlig. Bidh an dà rud seo cuideachail airson do sgilean Gàidhlig a leasachadh.

Ciamar a tha cùisean agad an t-seachdain sa? A bheil thu air a bhith trang? Innis dhuinn na rinn thu. Bha sinn a-muigh airson biadh agus nach e a bha neònach a bhith ann an taigh-bìdh còmhla ri daoine a-rithist!

An t-seachdain sa, bha taghadh ann an Alba. An deach thu airson bhòt a chur a-steach? Ma tha thu ag iarraidh bruidhinn air, tha liosta againn ann am Fichead Facal le faclan a bhios feumail airson bruidhinn air an taghadh. 

Am faca tu an Q&A a bh’ againn air Instagram an t-seachdain sa? Bidh sinn ga dhèanamh gach trì no ceithir seachdainean agus faodaidh tu ceist sam bith ceangailte ri Gàidhlig a chur oirnn. Ma tha thu air Instagram, cuir ceist thugainn an ath-thuras! 

Fhuair sinn ceist chumanta Dimàirt air cuin a bhios tu a’ cleachdadh ‘an’, ‘am’, agus ‘a’’ airson an alt cinnteach (the). A bheil fhios agadsa cuin a chleachdas tu iad? Tha earrann againn air an làraich-lìn ann an Little by Little a mhìnicheas seo agus tha e a’ toirt dhut eisimpleirean airson gach fear. Carson nach feuch thu seantans a’ cleachdadh ‘a’’, ‘an’ agus ‘am’?

Sin agad e, a charaid. Bho do charaidean aig LearnGaelic.

Good evening,
 
Remember there is an audio file for this newsletter on Soundcloud, you could listen to it at the same time. If you read this on your computer, you’ll get the English text in a column beside the Gaelic text. These two things will be helpful to develop your Gaelic skills.

How are things with you this week? Have you been busy? Tell us what you did. We were out for food and wasn’t it strange to be in a restaurant with people again!

This week, there was an election in Scotland. Did you go to put a vote in? If you want to talk about it, we have a list in Twenty Words with words that are useful for talking about the election. 

Did you see the Q&A we had on Instagram this week? We do it every three or four weeks and you can ask us any question related to Gaelic. If you’re on Instagram, send us a question next time! 

We got a common question on Tuesday on when you use ‘an’, ‘am’, and ‘a’’ for the definite article (the). Do you know when you use them? We have a section on the website in Little by Little that explains this and it gives you examples for each one. Why don’t you try a sentence using 'a’', 'an' and 'am'?

That’s all for now, pal. From your pals at LearnGaelic.

Hi a charaid,

Dè tha dol? Tha oidhche uabhasach fhèin spaideil air thoiseach oirnn ann an saoghal na Gàidhlig... na Duaisean FilmG! Tha iad a’ tachairt Dihaoine an 7mh den Mhàrt aig an SEC ann an Glaschu. Am bi thu fhèin an làthair? Tha sinn cinnteach gum bi frogannan snasail agus sàilean àrda gu leòr mun cuairt! 

’S e farpais bhliadhnail film-goirid a th’ ann am FilmG, agus tha e comasach do dhaoine filmichean a chruthachadh mu chuspair sam bith fhad ’s a tha e tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig. Tha duaisean ann do dhaoine a tha fo agus thairis air ochd bliadhna deug a dh’aois. Gun teagamh sam bith, tha tàlant gu leòr ri fhaicinn anns gach roinn!

An robh thu fhèin riamh an-sàs ann a bhith a’ cruthachadh film? Ma tha, bidh fios agad gu bheil tòrr obrach an lùib. Ma tha thu nad chleasaiche, feumaidh tu na loidhnichean agad a chuimhneachadh agus smaoineachadh air mar a lìbhrigeas tu iad. No ma thu air cùl ghnothaichean, bidh thu ag obair air rudan mar stiùireadh, deasachadh, solais no sgrìobhadh. ’S e pìos ealain a th’ ann an gach film, agus tha an t-uabhas de luchd-ealain a’ tighinn còmhla gus an dealbh mòr a thoirt chun sgrion mhòr! 

A bheil thu an dùil film fhaicinn an t-seachdain sa? Tha abairtean feumail againn dhut aig LearnGaelic.scot > Ionnsaich > Cùrsa Tòiseachaidh > Ag innse na h-uarach, agus tagh Criomag 5 – Cuin a tha am film air?

Am faca tu fhèin cuid de na h-inntrighean a th’ ann airson FilmG? Ma tha film ann as fheàrr leat, nach leig thu fios thugainn le post-d no air na meadhanan sòisealta? 

Feuch gun cùm thu sùil a-mach air an oidhche airson dithis a th’ air a a bhith ag obair air LearnGaelic thar nam bliadhnaichean. Bidh Siobhan Shutharlanach a’ preasantadh, agus bidh Muireann Bhochanan a’ toirt seachad duais!
Sin e bhuainne airson seachdain eile. Bho do charaidean aig Sgioba LearnGaelic, mar sin leat.
