A fantastic way of really getting close to and becoming part of the rich culture of the Hebrides is to learn our native language - whether you just want a smattering or you have always wanted to master the ancient language of the Gaels. In this section, you'll find some of the Gaelic language classes and courses available in the Hebrides that are designed to help you fulfil your goal.
If you can't make it for one of this year's summer schools, and can't face the thought of Gaelic by open learning, then why not treat yourself to some of the fantastic books available that will help you to learn a smattering of the beautiful language before you make your way to the Hebrides. Try the catalogue section of www.GaelicBooks.net.
On the other hand, if you feel like taking your Gaelic learning seriously, and think that you might want to immerse yourself in Gaelic for a year, then why not consider taking a year out to live somewhere special: a place to work on your music, learn a language, and immerse yourself in a vibrant culture? Find out more about Colaisde Bheinn na Faoghla's Further Education Diploma in Gaelic Language and Music, see www.lews.uhi.ac.uk/gaelicmusic/.
As more and more people become interested in Gaelic, more and more options for learning are becoming available. Watch this space for updates and new courses!
