Languages, books, science and nature, anthropology, arts, space... almost everything is fascinating!
Right, trying again to get a positive experience out of working through a book. I want to pull the threads of my Gàidhlig together and make sure I have actually learned the basics of communication! #Langsky

Why is the word used different in these examples even though both objects are female? Why a ta ending in one and te in the other? #langsky

:) That sounds like a good idea. I'm not starting it right now but my plan is to read through this, looking up language features that I can't figure out from context, and go from there. How were you studying it?

My favourite French grammar overview is the Collins Easy Learning one. There is a workbook version too, if you like that sort of thing. I have one just for the grammar part but you can get a 3 in one

I'm the same. I have success with matching games though
Like this. Do they help you?

Not for bragging rights, go you whether you read 1 book this year or 100! Simply, I'm interested to chat with people about the books, if you have an option of any of them! #booksky :)

Is there an app or site where you can create your own sets and run a matching game like this. I need to drill Scottish Gaelic prepositional pronouns and standard flashcards don't work for me (when you just say whether you know it)
