We have been learning some Gaelic phrases this term.
Gaelic spellings are difficult with lots of silent letters. There are also
letters which are written the same in Gaelic and English but sound
differently. For example “bh” in Gaelic sounds like “v” in English. The
place Stornoway is spelt: Steòrnabhagh.
Gaelic also has more punctuation marks than English.
