Conversation is the outcome of structured learning rather than a standalone starting point.

​

Our speaking-focused courses are designed so that communication skills development  is introduced only once learners have the necessary foundations in place to hold a conversation. 

​​​​​Immediate payment is due on receipt of invoice. Spaces can not be reserved due to the high demand and limited availability.
There are no refunds once courses have been paid for and you've accepted a fixed lesson time slot.

Bookings can not be transferred to another start-date if you missed your first lesson.

​​​

Students are responsible for checking the time differences here.

Check course, entry requirements, cancellation and attendance, FAQ information on the website before booking your course. 

You can do a self-check here to see what your current reading / speaking level is.

​

At Love Gaelic, you're not just learning a language — you're stepping into a living culture. Our prices reflect our commitment to small groups, native speakers, location-based immersion, personalised feedback, and coaching that builds not only your Gaelic but also  your confidence. We believe in sustainable pricing that honours our time, our teachers, and our island — and delivers lasting transformation for you. All students use the teacher's Gaelic dialect and work within the boundaries of the course syllabus. 

​

Please note:
Love Gaelic does not offer placement assessments unless learners already meet the formal entry requirements for a course. Prior recognised study (e.g. SMO, university programmes, or Love Gaelic pathways) is required before any assessment is considered. ​Entry levels are defined through sustained teaching experience and are designed to align course learning demands with what learners can realistically apply and maintain, based on prior learning.

​

Teaching & Programme Scope
Love Gaelic programmes are designed and delivered exclusively by Ann Desseyn.
Our responsibility and quality assurance apply only to teaching and activities delivered directly as part of a Love Gaelic programme.

Learning or tuition undertaken independently with other teachers falls outside the scope of Love Gaelic programmes.

The Love Gaelic Communication Development Pathway

The Love Gaelic Conversation Skills Pathway is a structured progression designed to develop sustainable spoken Gaelic from absolute beginner level through to advanced conversational and debating skills. The conversation and communication skills development pathway comprises 55 guided lessons and 2 self-study courses, with learners engaging in two or more sessions per week to ensure continuity, application, and retention. Conversation is introduced and expanded at defined stages, building on prior learning so that speaking skills can be applied reliably, maintained over time, and developed with increasing precision and control.​

The Beginner to Advanced Ùlpan Pathway

Love Gaelic offers an intensive, structured route to communicative competence in Scottish Gaelic that goes beyond mirroring the rigour of formal academic programmes while remaining focused on practical application, through adding on access to an optional taught group conversation class. Designed for learners seeking measurable progress without the cost, or academic overhead of university or college study, the Ùlpan pathway provides a disciplined, outcomes-driven alternative for those who want to use Gaelic actively and consistently.
