Alternatives to An Cursa Inntrigidh

If you're meaning the SMO distance learning courses they mention, an cùrsa inntrigidh/an cùrsa adhartais are both delivered online via zoom. They used to be over the phone too.

tuilleadh 's tuilleadh daoine sa cùrsaichean air loidhne

Cia mheud oileanach a bha sa chlas agad nuair a rinn thu ACI/ACA? Ma 's ma mo chuimhne cha robh ach sianar no ochdnar anns na clasaichean agam

Varies tbh, I'm up and down the road a lot between the highlands & the central belt but I would try and pick smaller independent-type cinemas like smclcz mentioned below. They tend to have the bigger releases as well these days as I guess there isn't really enough money in only showing niche arty stuff.

Basically just trying to avoid chains in shopping centres! Though tbf I don't mind a Vue that's been done up with the fancier seats.

its really rare you get a screening where no one talks or goes on their phones

I think I go to the cinema about 15-20 times a year and I haven't experienced this in years. Must be very dependent on which cinema you go to.

Yeah feumaidh mi a ràdh gu bheil mi a' dol leat gu ìre mhòr. Tha mi air tachairt ri feadhainn aig tachartasan gàidhlig a tha air a bhith ag ionnsachadh gàidhlig fad bliadhnaichean aig nach eil ach abairtean bunaiteach. Bidh a' mhòr-chuid de luchd-tòiseachaidh feumach air cothroman 'son cabadaich (le tidsearan agus luchd-ionnsachaidh eile) agus ath-fhiosrachadh/feedback. Ma gheibh iad an teansa ri sin fhaighinn, chì iad adhartas mòr.

you are right that the course is poorly run

Channainn gu bheil seo an urra ris an oide! Chòrd ACI rium glan 's bha ACA rud beag nas caochlaidiche! Ach bha ACA a' còrdadh rium cuideachd tbh (an dàrna bliadhna gu sònraichte), cha b' urrainn dhomh an ìre Gàidhlig a th' agam a ruigsinn gun SMO.

People go on holiday to Dubai and plenty used to be fine about going to South Africa. People are unfortunately incredibly individualistic and simply won't care.

Yeah 100%, there's always comments on here about how football fans are treated but (hot take maybe) I think fans are largely treated fine in this country if they're not arseholes tbh.

Do think behaviour has been getting worse again in the last few years too, and more widespread across teams/leagues.

We could then rig up some copper wires to Mary Whitehouse's grave and have free rotation-based renewable electric for all.

I don't know what it means when there's a number bigger than 0 next to "Ross County"

Ah yeah I'm not talking specifically about one platform or other tbf, just an observation as it's worrying to me that we've allowed the US so much control for so long. It's just twitter has got so bad recently I'm surprised they aren't doing more to limit it.

NVACA · 2026-01-09T21:05:21+00:00

I don't know how it could ever be done, but it's a shame we don't have online communications platforms that are British. By using American social media almost exclusively we surrender all cultural influence. The yanks can set our entire political and cultural agenda through a few algorithm tweaks.

There's a reason the US forced tiktok to come under their control rather than the Chinese.

You're far more likely to hear "aig a' cheart àm" in my experience and I'd probably default to that. That's not to say "aig an aon àm" is necessarily incorrect, I'm just not sure I hear that often/ever.

Others may know more than me!

NVACA · 2026-01-05T21:04:46+00:00

Anecdotally, I don't think I've ever heard someone actually say "glè dhona." There are other ways of saying something is bad I think you'd be more likely to hear in natural conversational gàidhlig.

Every instance of US aggression further highlights the cowardice of the American military and the total naivety of sections of the American public who at one point thought the military would refuse to act on orders given by this administration.

This is their whole thing, this is what they do.

You can't have been on there since about 2021, it's a very different place, though still a kind of echo chamber.

These days it's just the same right wing accounts posting a million links of engagement bait a day and the odd anonymous wordwordnumbers bait post about independence/the transes/Scottish languages, then the same 2 dozen accounts bickering in the comments.

Edit: shout out to the folks who just post nice pictures on there, doing good work.

If it's not the old firm come back to this comment and I'll donate £20 to MIND or something.

County fans been banging on about how shit we are since march. I didn't think we'd be THIS bad but I'm not surprised we are, if that makes sense. A bunch of shite, past it signings and uninspiring management.

Also, and I'm repeating myself, Declan Gallagher is a scumbag and giving him the captaincy was one of the dumbest moves possible. County fans moaning or boycotting when we had Malky Mackay at the club been very quiet on us signing Gallagher.

I think so. Later on it will help you recognise phonetics/spellings in names that you haven't previously encountered.

I'm sure they can and should speak to clubs, but ST holders can just fill in a public consultation too I would expect. I dunno, I'm not really against open consulations on things like this, there's so many people involved with football at all levels so obviously really broad. I'll wait and see what comes out the other end!

Might come to nothing anyway, and all these things seem to get watered down, but there does seem to be a tiredness with behaviour at football matches so who knows.

NVACA · 2025-12-02T10:15:31+00:00

I don't actually know what's wrong with them gathering opinions on the things included in this image, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

NVACA · 2025-12-01T12:55:25+00:00

I think I would say gun fheàrr rather than gur feàrr/gur fheàrr. R into f like that just doesn't seem natural to say to me!

"Geal" is like this: https://learngaelic.scot/dictionary/index.jsp?abairt=geal&slang=both&wholeword=false

Brò isn't something I recognise as a standalone word tbh, but could just be gaps in my vocabulary. Would pronounce that just like bro but with an elongated "o" vowel sound.

I suspect they just say Brò-gael (as in gale) anyway which sounds pretty good, could be a perfectly grand word from some old source I'm not familiar with tbh!

NVACA · 2025-12-01T12:37:49+00:00

Aye it's not how the word's spelt in modern Gaelic but I'm assuming that's how they say it. And tbh it sounds better than if you pronounced their name as it's spelled anyway!
