Sorry had gone to put the lambs in the byre and finish the scones I was baking(!?) to go with the broth for the supper! Ok ok so only the aunties are that 'gaidhealach". For me this is my first language and although i am a native speaker there was no such thing as gme when I was young so it was quite late before I came to learning to read and write it. I was in my teens so what I'm trying to say is speaking it and teaching how to say something is, imo, straight forward but giving you the breakdown, going through the various tenses, the genitives, the vocative, dative, conditional, etc, well that's not so easy. I know a good few learners and they are making excellent progress doing Ulpan as well as going to classes, but I am aware that it takes, time, patience and fortitiude!
