   you’d have to look for it on a fileshare network i think… unless Runrig have managed to get the rights for it and have it available on their site…

   could try that…

   Magic. I love the fact the guy was drinking McEwans. a bit unnecessary for a Sunday morning programme maybe, but quite realistic!!

   Can Seo was rubbish - Can seo agus can e rithist (ping)! We used to have to watch it in Portree School. But I hadn’t realised Runrig did the theme tune. It sounds like a re-recorded version of ‘De Ni Mi’ from Play Gaelic. Does anyone know how to get it - it’s brilliant!

   This is a wonderful way to learn Gàidhlig! I’m so glad I stumbled upon it today! Mòran taing! ( many thanks)
   I’ve been learning scottish gaelic on my own for several months and these episodes are a great way to see the language used in every day situations.
   I am also teaching my family gaelic as I go, so that’s 5 of us (three are teenagers).
   I would really love to see some Gàidhlig/ Beurla ( gaelic / english ) bilingual programming, here in the U.S.
   A bheil Gàidhlig agaibh?

   do you have a link to where you downloaded the original files, or some other way that I could get them from you?

   Thank you to the makers of this programme and to whoever posted it on YOutube. I’m very grateful

   My point? I’m merely discussing the pros and cons for a native English speaker attempting to learn both Gaidhlig and Arabic. Was it not clear enough for you? If I’d wanted to argue a point I wouldn’t be kicking it off on Youtube.

   

8. lampost1  |  April 26th, 2009 at 2:23 am #

   and your point is?

   I’m a native English speaker btw and don’t speak Hebrew.

    i agree..I’ve been learning arabic off and on for a few years and have recently started learning scottish gaelic…I found Arabic a lot easier but then I’ve only just started with the Gaelic so perhaps it’ll become easier over time. They’re both beautiful languages and I’m hoping one day to be fluent in both.

    Hàllo, Hi, Adishatz (gascon language of the Pyrenees)
    This is very interesting, I would like to find the same for the language (occitan -gascon romance language) of my little country, Bearn (in South West of France).
    Ciamar a tha thu?=Quin vatz atau?= How are you?= Comment allez-vous? (Gaelic-Gascon-English-French).
    I’ll follow these lessons, just for the fun and discovering a very interesting language too.
    When I was in Pau (Bearn) our teacher of english was a Scotsman knewing gaelic.

    To an English speaker, Arabic is more difficult because it isn’t Indo-European, it uses a non-Roman orthography, and the multitude of regional dialects and non-standard variants are initially overwhelming.

    But, to a Hebrew speaker, Arabic is quite intuitive — it all depends on frame of reference.

    Sweet Christ! This makes arabic easy!

    Fantastic work! This is really great cultural stuff. My brother and I are going to try to learn this - our family spoke Scottish Gaelic two generations ago. Thanks again!

    My Canadian guilt is getting the better of me: I re-encoded them and uploaded them to YouTube, but the real work was done by the (unknown?) person who initially recorded them, digitised them, and then put them on BitTorrent. *That* was the real work, as far as I see it.

    Thanks for sharing such interesting material Muckapedia… I’ve just started leraning Gaelic a few weeks ago at the local kirk.

    Great video, although they went a tad quickly. Better on he internet, where you can pause to say the words.

    Love the theme tune! Can Seo is streets ahead of Speaking our Language

    Good lord, I remember this now! Sunday mornings I think, wasn’t it? You couldn’t get much more 1970s BBC Scotland than this, could you? Thanks for sharing this!!
