Gaelic Learning from BBC ALBA

NEW GAELIC LEARNING INITIATIVES FROM BBC ALBA

 

The online educational resource provided by BBC ALBA, Beag air Bheag, has been re-launched today (Thursday) providing an extensively updated and enhanced service offering.  

 

Beag air Bheag is the Gaelic for ‘Little by Little’ and is how the website aims to help people learn Gaelic, a little bit at a time. The online course at www.bbc.co.uk/beagairbheag offers Gaelic learners the opportunity to learn new words, phrases, proverbs and Gaelic songs, taking a traditional approach in both text and sound formats.

 

The original Beag air Bheag website was produced in 2001 and is one of the most popular sites within the Learning Section of the BBC ALBA website, which receives an average of 28,000 hits per week.
