In that regard, I welcome absolutely any comments and corrections from anyone, though I do favour those from native or experienced Gàidhlig speakers. I'm a balach mòr, I can take it. I once spent an entire semester in Germany where a fellow Mitbewohner used to correct my German on the spot, even interrupting what I was saying. While I found this highly irritating, not to mention unhelpful and discouraging, it did give me a much thicker skin when it comes to receiving criticism when speaking a language that isn't English*. Criticism should ideally be polite and respectful and it should come at the end of my poorly constructed sentence, not halfway through it. Give me time to think, Britta!!

Ahem, anyway, I exhort, encourage and enjoin you to leave comments and criticism.
Here's some Julie Fowlis to cheer you up this dreich feasgar Dimàirt.
* I accept corrections in English less kindly
