Gaelic Elementary Step 3 (Online)

This course is the third and final step to complete our beginners level in Gaelic.

In this course, which is taught in Gaelic, you will learn to share your interests and hobbies, speak about the past, describe your family and speak about jobs.

You will develop listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in your weekly online classes, held on Zoom, and through further interactive and independent activities, on our learning platform, Canvas.

Class-based activities include speaking, small-group role-plays, listening to dialogues or watching video clips.

Because language learning requires regular practice, you will consolidate your skills with vocabulary, grammar and writing exercises between classes.

You will need access to a computer equipped with a camera and microphone, a headset or earphones and a reliable internet connection. You will be provided with all necessary course materials digitally.

If you have fully engaged with all the learning activities and have attended regularly, by the end of the course, you should be able to:

• Speak about your hobbies and interests
• Talk about what you did yesterday
• Speak about your family  
• Talk about professions

The above list is indicative and may be subject to change.

This course is the third and final step on our beginners level and is open to anyone who completed Gaelic Beginners Step 2 or equivalent. If you have previously learned Gaelic and are unsure of your level, you can self-assess here.
