This is the first volume in a series of textbooks designed to take the academically-minded student from beginner (or near-beginner) level to a stage where he/she has all the tools to achieve fluency. Attaining actual fluency will still depend on the student's own investment, in both time and energy. Access the audio files and answers for the exercises website: http: //www.progressivegaelic.com.

This book supports the Progressive Gaelic textbook series, but it can also be used as a stand-alone tool to support self-taught learners or those learning the language on other courses. There are more than 170 exercises for you to practise and consolidate your knowledge of many aspects of the language. This book covers the very basics, including The Spelling Rule, how to answer Yes and No-type questions, how to form defining sentences and descriptive sentences, all the way up to using regular verbs in the past and future tenses, and several irregular verbs. The book includes an answer key and a glossary, and all chapters cross-refer to the relevant units in the Progressive Gaelic 1 textbook.

This is the first book to provide a thorough introduction to Gaelic fiction. It traces the evolution of the form over the last century and focuses on the major developments that have led to the recent flourishing in Gaelic fiction publishing. The book follows a broadly chronological structure. The early chapters examine the emergence of fiction at the beginning of the last century, and discuss the cultural context. This leads into a broad exploration of the various kinds of fiction that have been written throughout the century. All of the novels and novellas are examined in turn, from Dn-Aluinn to Dleas Donn and Shrapnel, and the book also deals with all the short story collections and a large bulk of the uncollected fiction. As well as covering the work of well-known authors like Iain Moireach, Tormod Caimbeul and Iain Mac a' Ghobhainn, the book has space for many of the lesser-known names that have appeared in magazines such as Gairm. The final chapters focus on the current state of scholarship and criticism of Gaelic fiction and discuss the most recent and remarkable initiatives that have more than sustained the viability of fiction in the Gaelic language.
