Feuchaidh mi e. Tapadh leibh!

Tapadh leat a Cam! We are excited about going to GM. We stayed in the Linville River Log Cabins last time. Anyone have any better suggestions? Hopefully there will be 3 of us going this year. Also, when can we sign up and pay for the Gaelic song & language week? I always stay on campus with the...

I'll be playing an hour of my favorite Gaelic songs, old and new, on Ar Guthan (Our Voices) on Tuesday, February 24th, at 7:00 pm ...

If you're interested in Gaelic e-books, take a look at Am Bann Breac , a translation of the Sherlock Holmes classic short story, The Speckled Band , available at http://www.giglets.net. While I'm certainly looking forward to more original Gaelic books becoming available in electronic format, it's go...

As membership secretary, people often contact me to see if there are other learners in their area. Unfortunately, they are often the lone Gaelic learner in the wilderness, so to speak. Almost all have computers, but not everyone feels they have the technical savey to set themselves up on SKPYE. Per...

I am planning to stay for the games as well. Is the money for the extra nights paid separatly from the course fees, or is it added together.
