Title: Wish me luck!
Post by: Dustin on June 26, 2010, 08:22:14 PM
I'm starting a new adventure...

Well, who knows if it will work, but I'm going to try to learn Scottish Gaelic. Our library has an account with Byki, an online language learning program developed by Transparent Language. It uses virtual flash cards and repetition to learn words. So far, I've learned 15 adjectives, and I'm working on days of the week.

Wow, that is cool!  I'm reading one of the books in the Outlander series, and they use a lot of Gaelic.  Wish I could understand it, too.

Oh... my!  Now that is quite the undertaking!  Just learning how to use the letters that make no sounds would twist my mind into knots!  :D  Good luck, and have lots of fun with it!!!

After two years of Latin in high school, I stay away from other tongues with the exception of dirty words... But seriously, folks...

That's pretty cool! I'll have to check with our campus library to see if they have access...
