Gaelic

Cothroman Cànain

Nuair a chuala mi bho tidsear nach biodh Gàidhlig idir feumail nam bheatha, thoisich mi air slighe gus ar cànan ionnsachadh. Chan eil Foghlam tro Mheadhan na Gàidhlig ann an Ratharsair, ach lorg mi dòigh leam fhìn.

Bidh mi ag obair gus dèanamh cinnteach gum bi cothroman ionnsachaidh agus cleachdaidh ciallach nar sgìrean. Bha agamsa ri dòigh eile a lorg, ach bu toigh leam dèanamh cinnteach gu bheil dòighean simplidh ann airson a h-uile duine aig a bheil ùidh gus ar cànan ionnsachadh, cleachdadh, agus àrdachadh.

Gaelic Language

When a teacher told me that Gaelic would be of no use to me in my life, I started down a path determined to learn the language. Raasay does not have Gaelic medium education, but I found a way to fluency.

I will work to create sensible opportunities to learn and use Gaelic within the area. I had to find an alternative route, but I want to ensure there are easy ways for everyone with an interest to learn, use, and celebrate our language.
