We’re lucky that there is Gaelic news on the BBC. There are fresh news stories in Gaelic on BBC Naidheachdan every day, and these stories also appear on social media. The geàrr–chunntas (summary) which is published every day at 11am is really useful for learners as it provides short summaries of the day’s news in Gaelic, but we need some new words and phrases before we can understand these summaries.
