'Nuair a bha mi draibheadh air an Eilean Mhór an diugh ann an dìle bhàite, smaoinich mi air na h-abairtean Ghàidhlig a th' ann airson na sìde agus rudan eile... ach is tric nach gabh iad eadar-theangachadh gu 'n Bheurla gu ro mhath!

O chionn ghreis chuir mi seachad dà latha ri teagasg òrain Ghàidhlig do chloinn aig An Roinn Cheilteach de 'n Sgoil Dhannsaidh aig Ceallaigh Nic Artair ann an Cnoc an Iar, Ceap Breatainn. 'S e dannsairean a bh' anns a' mhór-chuid dhe na sgoilearan agus bha 'ad air an togail le bhith dannsadh do sheinn seach inneal ciùil.  Rinneadh co-cheangladh glan eadar cànan 'is ceòl 'is dannsa, agus a' chlann 'gan ionnsachadh uile.

A’Cholaisde Ghàidhlig / The Gaelic College is St. Ann's proudly offers programming in Gaelic language, culture and music for all ages. The College places particular importance on its role of educating the next generation of Gaelic singers and speakers.

Air taobh tuath an eilein Cheap Breatainn tha àiteachan mar Iongoinis, Ceap Nòr, Inbhir Pheofharain, Bàgh Naomh Loireans, agus eile. Smaoinichidh mi uaireannan gun téid an dio-chuimhn' air an còrr dhe 'n eilean air sgàth 's gu bheil iad car fada air falbh agus dà bheinn eadarainn.

Tha mi an còmhnuidh toilichte leis an uiread de Ghàidhlig a bhios ri fhaotainn an duigh tro iomadh meadhan - ma bhios fios agaibh càit' am faighear iad! Bu toil leam fios a chuir thugaibh air programan ris a dh' fhaodas sibh éisdeachd, mu dheidhinn 's dòchas nach cuala sibh roimhe seo.

A while back I contributed a blog in regard to Gaelic in Nova Scotia schools.

Some number of months later, I can now comment directly to the activities which took place as well as the degree of Gaelic language instruction that took place in one specific Core Gaelic Program in Nova Scotia.  I am referring to the Core Gaelic program which was offered at Sgoil Mhic Fhraing a Chaolais this past school year and the success it celebrates today during the closing month of the school year, June, 2011.

Although it is early to say for sure what the finest musical highlights will be on Cape Breton Island this summer, there is one concert that is guaranteed to be especially enjoyable because not only the music, but the view, is second to none in the world!
