D猫 thog d' 霉idh anns a' ch脿nan? Tha a' Gh脿idhlig cho ce貌lmhor agus cho beairteach a thaobh 貌rain, sgeulachdan, abairtean is eile. Tha na G脿idheil cho coibhneil is gun a bhith cho l脿n dhiubh fh猫in.
A bheil molaidhean agad airson luchd-ionnsachaidh eile? 脠ist ri ce貌l agus ris an r猫idio. Gabh a h-uile cothrom gus G脿idhlig a bhruidhinn! Na biodh eagal ort mearachdan a dh猫anamh.

Tha mi ag obair air pr貌graman naidheachd a' BhBC, n矛 mi beagan seinn G脿idhlig, bidh mi a' sgr矛obhadh colbh G脿idhlig dhan 鈥淪cottish Catholic Observer鈥 agus bidh mi a' dol gu seirbheisean G脿idhlig ann an Eaglais na h-Alba 鈥淣aomh Colm Cille鈥 (St. Columba).
D猫 an abairt Gh脿idhlig as fhe脿rr leat? 鈥 Is toigh le b貌 sp霉tadh, b貌 sp霉tadh eile! (A' ciallachadh: Far a bheil aon rud, chan eil rud eile dhen aon se貌rsa fada air falbh.)
