Book Review: Read Before You Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent course aided by the audio pronunciation CDs. However, this is the exact same book and CD set, with nothing added, as the "Teach Yourself Gaelic Complete Course Audiopack" by the same authors, Robertson and Taylor, that Amazon sells as well for $18.45 instead of $47.??. I don't know what's up with that. The ONLY different is one comes in a clear plastic case and one comes in a purple colored case with the "heather photo" on it. Same sturdiness/density of plastic as far as I can tell.
Summary of Teach Yourself Gaelic (Teach Yourself Complete Courses)
Scottish Gaelic is one of six modern Celtic languages, which, like most other European languages, belong to the Indo-European family of languages. The older versions of the modern Celtic languages were spoken in a large part of Europe at the height of Celtic civilisation. This book/CD course is designed for anyone who wants to progress quickly from the basics to understanding, speaking and writing Scottish Gaelic with confidence. 'Teach Yourself Gaelic' consists of 23 thematic units progressing from introducing yourself and talking about everyday topics to reporting events and making suggestions. The emphasis is on communication throughout with important language structures introduced through dialogues on the accompanying recording. There are plenty of exercises to practise the language as it is introduced and cultural information sections give useful advice about the culture of Gaelic-speaking people. There is a special section on spelling and pronunciation at the start of the course.Words & Language Books
