    I’m learning Gàidhlig and have a speaking exam coming up, so I’m practicing with a friend on the same course on Saturday. Sunday I’m being way less productive and getting together with some friends for lunch and a session of Victoria 2. I’m kinda anxious to get out of the house for a bit too, as weather and illness have kept me stuck indoors for a while

        I tried self-teaching with some books and Duolingo, but I was struggling to keep a real focus on it and not making any good progress. I live in a part of the country with little in the way of any Gaelic culture, so there wasn’t a lot that I could make use of locally either. Turns out the University of the Highlands and Islands does a distance learning course that is very cheap for anyone living in Scotland, so I’ve been doing that and getting along much better. By its nature it also means I know a few more people that are also trying to learn

          Thanks. I’m encouraged to hear that something like this exists, it’s important that some of these cultural things survive
