Taylor:
'Learning another language has never been more enjoyable. Caroline is not only an instructor, but a mentor, savant, Gaelic-geek, and good friend, one whom I could not fully internalize Gaelic's complexities without. The language itself has considable disparities as compared to most European stock languages, especially its intonations and mutations, and in that sense, Gaelic requires a direct and easy approach. Caroline excels there. She gradually assimilates grammar, phonetics, numbers, and days of the week with vocabulary and idiom so that each is learnt holistically, rather than statically. Likewise, she sets the language in context, historically and currently. Like all languages, Gaelic has abstract properties and mannerisms and conducts which Caroline reifies with fluency. Above all, for those lurching along difficulties, Caroline accommodates the individual, not her own curriculum. She insists that one learn as much as one is taught, and I am endlessly gracious for her instruction. Please try Gaelic with Caroline. Save a language. Save a culture.'
