Scrabble Gàidhlig now on sale!

Ràinig Scrabble Gàidhlig mo dhachaigh ann am Baile nan Stiùbhartach an-diugh, agus tha mi air bhioran! Faodaidh sibh an geama a' cheannach bho Comhairle nan Leabhraichean ann am Partaig aig https://www.gaelicbooks.org/explore-the-shop/gifts/scrabble-gaidhlig. Tha 18 litrichean bunaiteach sa gheama (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, L, M, N, O, P, R, S, T, U), agus còig litrichean le stràcan (À,È,Ì,Ò,Ù).


Just through the door is my own copy of the new Scrabble Gàidhlig board game, produced following an idea by Teàrlach Wilson of An Taigh Cèilidh in Stornoway. The Gaelic version contains just 18 plain letters (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, L, M, N, O, P, R, S, T, U), as well as versions of the vowels with a stràc (grave accent) on them (À,È,Ì,Ò,Ù). 

Although you can order a copy from An Taigh Cèilidh at https://www.taighceilidh.com, it is currently out of stock there (demand has been phenomenal), but I noticed on an online post that it will be back in stock in April. However, I purchased my copy from Comhairle nan Leabhraichean (The Gaelic Books Council) in Partick via https://www.gaelicbooks.org/explore-the-shop/gifts/scrabble-gaidhlig, where it is still listed as being in stock.

A fun way to learn the language of some ancestors!

Cluicheamaid...! (Let's play!)
