Magaidh Smith has been busy since her conversation with Gordon Wells in February! In the latest post on her website she introduces a new series of Gaelic recordings consisting of a collection of dramas conceived and produced on Lewis. As she explains, these formed a part of the work of the community group Cabraich. Originating in 2007 the works have seen various adaptations and translations since then, and they’re now available as open access audio files online.
But that’s not all! The Guthan nan Eilean project was pleased to introduce Magaidh to the Clilstore platform, which enables anyone to place an online transcript beside a media file (video or audio), so that you can listen and read at the same time – an invaluable aid for someone who’s learning the language, especially as the text is “wordlinked”. This means you can check any new vocabulary with a single click as you go.
Here’s the table of Magaidh’s new recordings.
