Gàidhlig tro mheadhan na craic Gaelic through the medium of fun

Nuair a tha sibh ag ionnsachadh cànan ùr tha mòran obair na luib agus tha e furasda misneach a chall ma tha sibh daonnan a' smaoineachadh air an obair agus na riadhailtean agus mar sin air adhart. 
Dè tha sibh a' dèanamh airson spòrs 'sa chiadh chànan agad? An toil leibh coiseachd no ball-coise no mìrean-measgaichte? Tha e furasda beagan Gàidhlig a chuir a-steach dhan na cuir-seachadan a th' agaibh mu thràth. 
Faodaidh sibh toiseachadh le dìreach facal no dhà. Can gu bheil sibh measail air gàirneilearachd, an toiseach faodaidh sibh na faclan "gàrradh, uisge, lusan" a chleachdadh. Ma tha sibh dìreach air toiseachadh air Gàidhlig ionnsachadh cleachdaibh na faclan ann an seantansan Beurla. Nuair a tha sibh air beagan adhartas a dhèanamh 'sa Ghàidhlig cleachdaibh seantansan simplidh mar "Tha mi a' cur uisge air na lusan." Cumaibh a' dol air barrachd faclan ceangailte ris an cuir-seachad agaibh ionnsachadh. 
'S e geamanan doigh math eile airson Gàidhlig a chleachdadh agus ionnsachadh. Mur eil agaibh ach beagan Gàidhlig taghaibh geama gun mòran cànan ann mar Twister (làmh, cas, dearg, uaine, gorm, buidhe, deas agus clì). Ma tha mòran Gàidhlig agaibh taghaibh geama mar Monopoly (chan eil mi a' dol a dèanamh liosta bhiodh e ro fhada). 
Nuair a bhios spòrs ann cha mhothaichidh sibh gu bheil sibh a obair agus gu bheil sibh ag ionnsachadh.
Am bu toil leibh barrachd taic a thaobh ciamar a bhios sibh a' cleachdadh geamanan airson Gàidhlig ionnsachd? Carson nach tig sibh dhan webinar saor an-asgaidh air 10mh Ceitean aig 11am (àm nam beanntan). Clàraich an seo.

When you are learning a new language there is a lot of work involved and it is easy to loose confidence if you are always thinking of the work and the rules and so on. 

What do you do for fun in your first language? Do you like walking, or football or jigsaw puzzles? It is easy to use a little Gaelic in the pastimes that you already have. Say you like gardening, to start off you could use the words "gàrradh (garden), uisge (water), lusan (plants)" . If you are just starting to learn Gaelic use the Gaelic words in English sentences. When you have made some progress in Gaelic use simple Gaelic sentences like"Tha mi a' cur uisge air na lusan" (I am putting water on the plants). Keep learning more words that are connected to your pastime. 
Games are another good way to use and learn Gaelic. If you only speak a little Gaelic pick a game that doesn't have much language like Twister ( làmh= hand, cas= foot, dearg= red, uaine= green gorm=blue buidhe= yellow, deas= right, clì= left). If you have a lot of Gaelic pick a game like Monopoly (I am not going to make a list it would be too long). 
When you are having fun you will not notice that you are working and learning.
