Litreachas | Literature
Alison Lang chats to Joy in the studio and Calum Maclean experiences literature galore as he learns about a writer who made his home in Barra.
Tha Joy Dunlop a’ leantainn oirre gar toirt tro cheumannan a bharrachd gus cumail oirnn agus Gàidhlig a bhruidhinn. Bidh i a’ dèiligeadh ri facail is abairtean air measgachadh de chuspairean agus a’ toirt dhuinn mìneacheadh air briathrachas is gnathasan-cainnte ann an dòigh a tha furasta a thuigsinn. Bidh stiùireadh ann cuideachd mu bhith a’ cleachdadh abairtean agus gràmair, le eisimpleirean soilleir tro chòmhraidhean goirid.
Coinnichidh sinn ri luchd-labhairt èasgaidh a th’ air a’ Ghàidhlig ionnsachadh gu àrd ìre neo a thogadh leis a’ Ghàidhlig air falbh bho sgìrean traidiseanta na Gàidhealtachd. Agus bidh Calum MacIlleathain air chuairt a’ toirt sealladh dhuinn air annasan is diofar chuspairean air feadh Alba.

Joy Dunlop guides viewers through the next steps to inspire us to keep on speaking Gaelic. As in previous series, she introduces and explains usage for words and phrases on everyday topics. A Gaelic learner herself, Joy supports us through vocabulary and idiom on topics such as music and song, outer space and Gaelic heroes.
We meet diligent speakers who have embraced the language and learnt it to a high level and also those who have grown up speaking it in non-traditional Gaelic areas. While the intrepid Calum Maclean ventures around Scotland to forgotten corners seeking hidden treasures.
Supporting materials can be found online: www.speakgaelic.scot and in the SpeakGaelic podcasts on BBC Sounds.
