Sam

Don't panic! English follows the Gaelic!

‘S e Sam an t-ainm a th' orm, tha mi a' fuireach ann an Indiana anns na Stàitean. Tha mi ag iarraidh cànan eile ionnsachadh oir tha mi ag iarraidh gluasad gu àite, agus ‘s ann an Alba a tha teaghlach mo mhàthar. Tha mi dìreach air tòiseachadh o chionn dà là air ais agus chan urrainn dhomh taic a thoirt do luchd-ionnsachaidh eile, ach feuchainn ri na rudan bunaiteach ionnsachadh. Bidh mi ag ullachadh na Gàidhlig le Ameireaganaich eile, agus chan eil fhios aca dè the mi ag ràdh (chan urrainn dhomh a' feitheamh gus am bi droch chànan agam HAHA, fealla-dhà). Chan eil abairt as fheàrr agam fhathast.

My name is Sam, I live in the state of Indiana in the U.S.A. I am learning another language as I want to move and my mother's family are from Scotland. I have just started two day ago so I still am fresh and probably couldn't provide many good tips for other beginners other than to try and seek out the basics of the language and learn them first and then learn from there. I practise my Gaelic knowledge during my daily interactions with other Americans and they have no idea what i am saying (can't wait till I learn some curse words HAHA, only joking) I really don't have a favourite Gaelic phrase yet.
