The full set of the original series of Guthan nan Eilean/Island Voices video clips is now also available through YouTube.
This first series won a 2007 European Award for Languages. It was produced as part of the Scottish contribution to the Leonardo POOLS project, and the materials are still available for download via that site. A DVD/CD-rom package is also available for online purchase through the Gaelic Books Council.
To access the materials by YouTube visit the Series One page on this site.
A look at the monthly statistics for the project blog over the past year makes interesting reading. For the first six or seven months the readership was fairly constant if unspectacular at between 50 and 100 visits per month. But February saw the introduction of video and audio material via YouTube and Ipadio, since when the number of readers/listeners/viewers has been rising at an increasing rate month on month – to the point where June this year saw well over twenty times the number of visits for the same month last year. News of the project will be spread further still with the next issue of ESOL Scotland’s e-newsletter. The project is already included in their list of online resources.
