Course reviews

’S e dùthaich ioma-chànanach a tha ann an Alba an-diugh. Tha a’ Ghàidhlig, Albais agus Beurla, còmhla ri cànain Eòrpach agus eile a tha nise san dùthaich, uile a’ toirt buaidh air mar a tha sluagh Alba a’ bruidhinn ri chèile agus ris a’ chòrr dhen t-saoghal. Chaidh an t-aonad seo - a tha ri fhaotainn an Gàidhlig agus am Beurla - a chruthachadh le misneachadh bho Bhòrd na Gàidhlig agus le taic bhon a’ BhBC. Tha e na ghoireas do dhuine sam bith aig a bheil ùidh phearsanta no phroifeiseanta ann a bhith a’ cur ris an eòlas agus an tuigse a tha aca air eachdraidh agus buaidh na Gàidhlig agus cultar nan Gàidheal air Alba. Is mathaid gum bi pàirt dheth na iongnadh, pàirt na dhùbhlan. Tha beachdan agus ceangalan ann a threòraicheas neach gu tuilleadh fiosrachaidh. Do chuid, ’s dòcha gum bi seo na thoiseach tòiseachaidh air cànan a tha bunaiteach a thaobh dearbh-aithne nàiseanta na h-Alba ionnsachadh.
