In the first of two episodes, I talk about having ADHD, how it has shown up through out the course of life, and establish the setting for the second episode, where I'll talk about strategies for managing some of the obstacles I anticipate ADHD will put in my way.

I really talk about a bunch of different stuff in this one - which actually kind of makes sense, given I devote most of my time talking about the impacts I suspect my ADHD is having on my efforts to learn Scottish Gaelic. You may also hear a bit of a song I am learning and some Gaelic I wrote for my SMO class!

In this episode, I talk about the framework that I am going to use to help me with setting goals for my Gaelic language learning (and that I hope you'll consider using, too!).

In this episode, I talk about the 4 main types of learning styles and why it would be beneficial to reflect on what our learning styles might be, especially as we look towards setting goals to help us achieve them or the New Year's Resolutions we made!

In this episode of Michelle Learns Gaelic, I share some of my thoughts on Duolingo. We all know there are pros and cons, but sometimes articulating them out loud can help us make a more active decision about whether the app is really suiting our needs and helping us achieve our goals.

New Gàidhlig word for this episode: cailleach-oidhche (the common owl)....what kind of owl is Duo anyway??
