Scottish Gaelic Story for Learners | Mìchael Episode 2: Tha na poileis an seo

In this second episode of my Scottish Gaelic story series for learners, we continue the mystery of Mìcheal in the hospital. He wants to go home, but he does not know where he is from, and now the police are here to speak with him.

This video helps you learn Scottish Gaelic through simple story, dialogue, vocabulary, and pronunciation support. A good way to build listening and reading skills in Gaelic step by step.

In this episode you will hear phrases such as:
Tha sgeulachd agam
Tha mi a’ dol dhachaigh
Cò às a tha thu?
Chan eil fhios agam
Tha na poilis an seo
Tha ceann goirt orm

This is part of my ongoing Mìcheal story series for Scottish Gaelic learners.
