Tha Joy Dunlop a’ leantainn oirre ’s i gar toirt tro cheumannan a bharrachd ann a bhith ag ionnsachadh na Gàidhlig. Bidh i a’ dèiligeadh ri facail is abairtean air measgachadh de chuspairean làitheil agus, mar thè a dh’ionnsaich a’ Ghàidhlig i fhèin, bheir Joy mìneachadh dhuinn air briathrachas, gràmar is gnathasan-cainnte ann an dòigh a tha furasta a thuigsinn.

Coinnichidh sinn ri luchd-labhairt èasgaidh a th’ air Gàidhlig ionnsachadh gu àrd ìre neo a thogadh leis a’ Ghàidhlig air falbh bho sgìrean traidiseanta na Gàidhealtachd, agus bidh Calum MacIlleathain a’ toirt sealladh dhuinn air annasan is cuspairean is e air chuairt air feadh Alba.
