CNSA - Gaelic Living Language, Thriving Culture

CNSA creates learning opportunities in Gaelic, for people of all ages, throughout Scotland. This website tells you a little about what we do, but its main purpose is to find out if you would like access to Gaelic learning and resources, and if so, in which spheres your interests lie.

Today, the number of people in Scotland learning Gaelic grows apace, with an even greater number eager to join their ranks. In addition, 60 Gaelic - medium primary schools are up and running.

If you want to share in the nationwide regeneration of Gaelic and its culture, then please complete the on-line form, so we can provide the learning resources your area needs.

CNSA RESOURCES
Pre-school activities: bumps & babies groups, parent & child groups, playgroups and nurseries together offer the full range of play-based learning and social development activities the pre-school child requires. As well as opportunities for the youngest child to enjoy songs, games, stories and creative pursuits in a Gaelic environment, parents will enjoy knowing that their children will be part of an exciting cultural revival from the very beginning!

All children and their parents are welcome to join any CNSA pre-school group whether or not they speak Gaelic.

FULL TIME GAELIC
IMMERSION COURSES
This is by far the best way to learn Gaelic fluently and quickly. Moreover, all that is needed are 15 students for a course to be established in your area. Each course runs for 37 weeks and 21 hours per week in which time one will acquire a good level of fluency in one of Europe's most beautiful and challenging languages. CNSA is seeking both students and tutors for the immersion courses and we are reliably informed that bursaries will be available for those that meet the criteria.

HELP & INFORMATION
Whether you're interested in pre-school options, immersion courses or Gaelic medium primary schools, we can offer a great deal of information and support to help you make the right choices. Simply tick the appropriate boxes on the on-line form - and leave the rest to us!
