A new resource for Gaelic learners was launched last week by
Brian Wilson at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig in Skye - the first CD-ROM for Gaelic
learners! The new resource has been produced by the Scottish Council
for Educational Technology in conjunction with Cànan Ltd, producers of
the Speaking Our Language course materials, and with funding from the
Scottish Office, Comataidh Telebhisein Gàidhlig and the European
Commission.
Posted March 23, 1998
This excellent new interactive resource is based on the first five lessons
in the Speaking Our Language course, and incorporates sound, video,
graphics, and exercises allowing users to try out their Gaelic to use as
they are going along. The presentation is lively and attractive, and the
material is suitable for use in schools as well as by individual
learners. The CD-ROM costs £9.95.
Further information about the CD-ROM is available at Cànan's web site,
at http://www.smo.uhi.ac.uk/canan/
There is also a variety of other Gaelic-related information available
at this site, which may be of interest to you, including information on
learning materials.
