Kristi

Don't panic! English follows the Gaelic!

Dè an t-ainm a th' ort? Halò! Is mise Kristi.

Co às a tha thu? / Càite a bheil thu a' fuireach? 'S ann à Alberta ann an Canada a tha mi.

Dè thog d' ùidh anns a' chànan? 'S e cànan bòidheach a th' ann, 's bha mi den bheachd gum biodh e sgoinneil ionnsachadh! Seach gur ann à Alba a bha mo shinnsirean.

A bheil molaidhean agad airson luchd-ionnsachaidh eile? Bi foighidneach!

Ciamar a tha thu a' cleachdadh Gàidhlig nad bheatha làitheil? Gu mì-fhortanach chan eil mòran tìde agam a bhith a' cur mo sgilean-còmhraidh an gnìomh. Ach tha e a' còrdadh ri mo cho-obraichean a bhith a' cluinntinn nam facal 's nan abairtean ùra a tha mi air a bhith ag ionnsachadh.

Dè an abairt Ghàidhlig as fheàrr leat? Tha seo iongantach, ach chan eil gin fhathast! Chan eil mi air a bhith ag ionnsachadh ach airson 10 latha. Ach gu dearbha tillidh mi thugaibh le abairt!

What's your name? Hello, my name is Kristi.

What inspired you to learn Gaelic? It's a beautiful language, that I thought would be awesome to learn! Since my ancestors came from Scotland!

What tips do you have for other Gaelic learners? - Have patience!

How do you use Gaelic in your daily lives? I unfortunately don't have much time to practice speaking Gaelic. But my fellow co-workers do enjoy hearing new words and phrases that I am picking up and learning!

Do you have a favourite Gaelic expression? How cheesy is this, but none yet! I've only been learning for 10 days. But I'll came back and put one in for sure!
