This course is perfect for those who have done over a year of Gaelic already or who have built a good foundation with Duolingo and are looking to deepen their understanding. Students should have some confidence with introducing themselves and having a basic discussion about their own lives and preferences, as well as confidence using the present tense and some experience with the past tense. If you're not sure about your level, you can ask to be put in touch with the course tutor to see whether the course would suit you.

Learners will take part in a variety of individual and group work, with activities using listening, reading, writing and speaking.

Recommended (but not required) resources: Essential Gaelic
