Well I’ll be the first to admit that while I thought people from Scotland talked a wee-bit funny I never knew their language is as complicated as Arabic. (So it seems.) After fishing through the BBC online language programs I came across this very well-built guide for learning Scottish Gaelic. Considering I’ve probably got enough work cut out for me in learning the language of my Welsh ancestors (one of these days), I’ll be passing on the Scottish Gaelic. However, those of you wanting badly to learn, the time is now. Go for it!
Today’s phrase is a Scottish Gaelic phrase used in Scotland:
beag air bheag – little by little
Scottish Gaelic is spoken in Scotland and some parts of Canada. It falls into the Goidelic branch of Celtic language. Wikipedia can take you further if your main concern is the history of the lingo and to continue learning online your choices are many. Take a look at the links listed on the bottom of the Wiki to guide you to extra sources. I suggest starting with the BBC.
