Milestones are coming thick and fast right now. The project YouTube channel adopted the platform’s “New Look” over the weekend, and “SassanachSile” became the 100th YouTube subscriber shortly afterwards!
The New Look is advertised as being “cleaner”. What do you think?
There are now ten separate playlists: eight for the English and Gaelic Series 1 and Series 2 categories, one for the Irish connection, and the newest goes under the title “Pot Luck”. There should be some new mystery ingredients going in there in the next few weeks….
We’ll post news of them here and on the Facebook page, but if you really want to taste them as soon as they’re added then you too could subscribe to the Island Voices Videos YouTube channel!
WordPress statistics record that today the Island Voices/Guthan nan Eilean project registered its 1,000th follower! We pride ourselves on quality over quantity, but it would be churlish to let this moment pass without remarking on it at all…
One thousand people would be close to the entire population of, say, Benbecula but our followers are actually a very international bunch. In fact, an inspection of the project’s YouTube channel analytics shows that the videos have been viewed in 161 different countries. So far…
If you haven’t yet registered but would like to keep uptodate with project developments you can “sign up” for e-mail notifications in the sidebar on this site, or, if you like to filter your surfing through Facebook, just click on the Facebook “Like” button in the same place. It’s an easy way to keep in touch – and comments and suggestions are always welcome!
Many thanks to all who follow and support the project!
The recent short visit by the Guthan nan Eilean/Island Voices project to Ireland generated quite a range of recordings in various formats and genres – and in three different languages!
This online table brings them all together for ease of reference, with live clickable links to take you to the clip of your choice on the appropriate platform. That could be YouTube for video, or Ipadio for audio – or it could also be Clilstore if you want access to a wordlinked transcript while you watch and/or listen.
Clilstore is a learner-friendly platform being developed by Sabhal Mòr Ostaig in partnership with other institutions in the “TOOLS” project. It’s still work in progress, so if learners or teachers have comments to make on how it could be improved please feed them back to us!
Seo eisimpleir dhen obair a chaidh a dhèanamh nuair a chaidh sgioba Uibhisteach a-null a dh’Èirinn o chionn treiseag. Bhathas airson an dòigh obrach aig Guthan nan Eilean a thaisbeanadh ann an coimhearsnachd Ghàidhealach ann an Tìr Chonaill far a bheil Gaeilge na h-Èirinn fhathast làidir. Chaidh am film goirid seo a dhèanamh le tionndaidhean ann am Beurla, Gàidhlig, agus Gaeilge. A bharrachd air sin chaidh clàraidhean a dhèanamh (an dà chuid video agus audio) le daoine a’ bruidhinn gu nàdarra, san aon stoidhle ’s a th’ againn an seo.
Cluinnear cuideachd cuid dhe na beachdan aig Nìall agus aig Eairdsidh air na dh’ionnsaich iad air a’ chuairt.
