I listen to videos like this again and again, to improve my understanding of Gaelic. Bidh mise ag èisteachd ri bhidiothan mar seo a-rithist is a-rithist, gus mo thuigse dhen Ghàidhlig a leasachadh.
It's so wonderful to hear somebody speak Gaelic fluently. It is a language that doesn't hit the same part of the mouth as English it's so beautifully unique.
That's true when it comes to some Gaelic phonetics. There are some sounds that are made the same way as in e.g. Scottish Standard English, but other sounds don't appear in English and have to be learned. I'm reading "Blas na Gàidhlig" by Michael Bauer and he covers this in depth.
Much much better than English. Wallace should have succeeded back than ;-) I'm Dutch but we also have different languages within our borders besides Dutch. You should be proud of you heritage and preserve the regional languages. P.s. Linda if you are single... haha
not a scottish gaelic speaker but i know what the individual words in the title mean from knowing a few words in irish "the black/dark person/one with john son of the smith
So basically, Linda's talking about "An Duine Dubh" (literally "The Black Man") by Iain Crichton Smith. A story from 1960 about an Asian guy selling clothes in Scotland. He encounters an old Scottish lady on his travels, and the story shows us how they interact and how each of them feels. Linda's describing her thoughts and feelings about the story, which she read when she was in school. She's praising the author's use of symbolism and his knack for making the reader think.

Could listen to her talk forever!
She has a beautiful voice, where can I buy her album!
Я не понял, что она говорит, но это очень красивый язык! Привет вам из России!
bhiodh sunnd mòr orm nan cluinninn daoine cho h-òg rithe seo a' bruidhinn a' chànain dùthchasaich na mo thìr fhìn, ie. a' Bhreatainn Bheag.
Bòidheach agus tàlantach òga Lady!
