my current level of gaelic is like. nonsensical. i can barely remember enough vocab or sentence structure to say more than "the dog is brown" without looking something up, but my knowledge of grammar and phonology is good enough that whenever i look for online resources i spot errors in them. one minute i'm like "ha! did you seriously just confuse -ard and -aird, mr youtube man? rookie mistake, how do you have literally any subscribers 🧐" and then next i'm like "ummm. h-how do you say. "chair""

#sa bheurla #what happens when you spend ten years as a serial beginner i guess #i still can't really articulate my Rs though #for slender R i'm basically saying a welsh rh and hoping it's close enough :/#and that's -arsht- vs -arshtch- btw #i think you can get away with -arsht- for -arshtch- but putting -arshtch- where -arsht- shld be is just outright Wrong #like it's ungrammatical. broaden that consonant right now
