Appendix (Accessible Version)
|
It’s always important in any language to get a basic knowledge of the numbers and how to count. You will now learn how to pronounce all the numbers in Gaelic. Look out for the two counting systems in Gaelic – the traditional style counts in twenties, and the newer system works in tens (just like English does.) After the number twenty the two systems change. |
