SpeakGaelic is an exciting, multi-faceted course which will allow you to access Gaelic learning in a variety of ways – through taught classes, through BBC Alba media content and through the SpeakGaelic website.

Students can be placed in the class best suited to their linguistic level of competency. SpeakGaelic has been developed in partnership with MGAlba, BBC Alba, Scottish Government and Sabhal Mòr Ostaig with support from Bòrd na Gàidhlig. SpeakGaelic is primarily focused on encouraging people to speak and use their Gaelic skills with reading, writing, and listening skills used to support this aim.

This course will start on Tuesday 16th September and will run each Tuesday and Thursday for 13 weeks.

As an anchor institution in the region, our aim is to have a transformative impact on our communities by encouraging people to live, work and study here by providing opportunities for people to shape their futures in a changing world.

We do this by providing courses to suit more people, at more levels, for more reasons, equipping them with the skills they need for learning, life, and work, now, and in the future. This includes:
