- James: Halò. Dè an t-ainm a th’ oirbh?
- Hello. What is your name?
- Catherine: Is mise Catrìona.
- I’m Catherine.
- James: Cò às a tha sibh, a Chatrìona?
- Where are you from, Catherine?
- Catherine: Tha mi às na Stàitean Aonaichte. Cò às a tha sibh fhèin?
- I'm from the United States. Where are you from? (literally: Where are you from yourself?)
- James: Tha mise à Sasainn.
- I’m from England.
- Catherine: A bheil sibh a’ fuireach ann an Sasainn?
- Do you live in England?
- James: Chan eil. Tha mi a’ fuireach ann an Alba.
- No. I live in Scotland.
- Catherine: Tha mise a' fuireach ann an Alba cuideachd. Tha mi a' fuireach ann an Glaschu.
- I also live in Scotland. I live in Glasgow.
- James: Tha sibh às na Stàitean Aonaichte, ach tha sibh a’ fuireach ann an Glaschu?
- You come from the United States, but you live in Glasgow?
- Catherine: Tha. Tha sin ceart. Agus tha mi ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig ann an Glaschu.
- Yes. That's right. And I’m learning Gaelic in Glasgow.
- James: Tha Gàidhlig mhath agaibh.
- You have good Gaelic.
- Catherine: O chan eil! Ach tha Gàidhlig mhath agaibhse.
- Oh no! But you have good Gaelic.
- James: Tapadh leibh, ach chan eil Gàidhlig mhath agam idir. Chan eil fhathast!
- Thank you, but I don’t have good Gaelic at all. Not yet!
