Robat
Don't panic! English follows the Gaelic!
Latha math!
Is mise Robat. Tha mi 63 bliadhna a dh'aois agus tha mi a' fuireach ann an Swansea anns a' Chuimrigh. Bha mi nam thidsear agus nam neach-rannsachaidh, ach tha mi air chluaineas a-nis.
Tha mi a' bruidhinn Cuimris agus tha ùidh agam anns na cànanan Ceilteach eile. Chan eil cothrom agam a' Ghàidhlig a bhruidhinn an seo, ach is toigh leam a bhith a' coimhead air prògraman Gàidhlig BBC ALBA air an iPlayer, a bhith ag èisteachd ri Radio nan Gàidheal tron eadar-lìon, agus a bhith a' leughadh nan naidheachdan air làrach-lìn BBC ALBA, ged nach eil mi a' tuigsinn a h-uile rud.
Cha robh mi ann an Alba ach aon uair, san Eilean Sgitheanach, ach bu toigh leam tilleadh an sin, agus tha mi an dòchas gun tèid mi do na h-Eileanan Siar uaireigin.
Is toigh leam spòrs, leughadh, eachdraidh agus bàrdachd. Bu toigh leam tuilleadh bàrdachd Ghàidhlig a leughadh!
Good day!
My name is Robat. I am 63 years of age and live in Swansea in Wales. I worked as a teacher and a researcher, but I am now retired.
I speak Welsh and have an interest in the other Celtic languages, I can't speak Gaelic here, but I do enjoy watching Gaelic programmes on BBC iPlayer, listening to Radio nan Gàidheal online, and reading the news on the BBC ALBA website, although I don't claim to understand every word.
I have only visited Scotland once, to the Isle of Skye, and I would like to return there, and I also hope to visit the Western Isles sometime.
I enjoy sport, reading, history and poetry. I would like to read more Gaelic poetry!
