Welcome

Anyone is welcome to use this page to search for words. The aim is to help those (like me) who are learning Gaidhlig via the Ulpan method to search for words then refer back to the sheets.

I have entered all the phrases and words and their unit number - so you can check back and see how something is used.

Enter word or part of word to search for

You can search for 'whole phrases' or p'arts' of words - the system will look for exactly what you enter!And words with accents are also found, so 'a' is the same as 'à' when searching. So 'sùil' or 'suil' finds 'sùilean'

How to search - an example

I was looking for the word 'spaideil' which I heard on 'BBC Alba' and I knew we'd come across it in Ulpan.But I didn't know how to spell it, just to say it.
So I guessed and searched for 'spateal'. Wrong!
Next I guessed, 'spadeal' - also nothing found. Euh Euh, I heard Vernon Kay say again!

So then I cut it down further - that brings a larger list of results. So when I entered 'spa', up came 'spaideil'. You can see where I was going wrong.

Once you've got the word - look it up

Then I went to the dictionary to look up what it means, or to the Ulpan unit to find out how it was used.

Here's a link to Faclair Beag dictionary 'here' - a really useful dictionary (opens new window). Note this is actually TWO dictionaries, as you get 'Dwelly's answers' in the right column.
