Mackechnie J. Gaelic Without Groans. - Ldn. , Edinburgh: Oliver &
Boyd, 1962. - 124 p.
John Mackechnie's very successful little book has been out of print for a considerable time. In response to a continued demand he has produced this revised edition. The object is to give the reader a working knowledge of Gaelic in the shortest possible time—the approach is as far as possible simple and conversational and the grammar of the language has been made as palatable as possible in the belief that in the presentation of Gaelic in a popular and attractive form lies the best hope for the continuance of the language.
Pronunciation is indicated by the author's own phonetic equivalents in preference to the more formidable Inteational Phonetic Alphabet, which may not be known to the ordinary reader.
