B’ fheàrr leam sin means "I would prefer that" . This unit introduces you to ways in which you might express a preference. In the first conversation we look at simple phrases involving easy verbal forms. In the second conversation we examine how you can use the conditional form of a verb to express preference in a very natural way. Both conversations concern clothes. A little more vocabulary will be useful:
