Post-Beginner Refresher
Reignite Your Gaelic Journey
​Our Post-Beginner Gaelic Refresher Course is designed for learners who’ve had previous exposure to Scottish Gaelic but feel a little rusty or unsure. Whether you’ve studied in the past, completed Ùlpan units, or dipped into Gaelic through evening classes or online learning, this course offers a supportive space to rebuild confidence, reactivate your knowledge, and bridge the gap to more fluent, spontaneous use. With a focus on real-life conversation, listening, grammar refreshers, and pronunciation practice, it’s the perfect stepping stone to help you move forward with renewed energy, clarity, and joy in your Gaelic learning journey again.
