An toiseach, fàilte! Tha mi 'n dòchas gu robh turus math agad ann an Eadailt.
A bheil am Mediterranean cho gorm 's a tha iad ag ràdh?
First, welcome! Am I in hopes that was a trip good at-you in Italy. Is the
Mediterranean so blue and that are they saying?
First of all, welcome! I hope you had a good trip to Italy. Is the
Mediterreanean as blue as they say it is?

 Bha i glé bhlath an sin (40 C in the shade) agus bha e "shock" mòr a bhith
 a' tighinn dhachaidh far a bheil i fionnar.

 It was very warm there, and it was a big shock to come home where it is
 cool.

Ubh ubh.bheir an smuain fhéin eagal orm. Cha bhiodh air fhàgail dhiom ach
poll air sràid.. agus tha i gu math bruthainneach an sin, nach eil?.
Gives the thought self fear on-me. Not would-be left of-me but puddle on
street..and is it quite humid there, isn't?
.The mere thought scares me. There wouldn't be anything left of me but a
puddle on a street...and it's quite humid there, isn't it?

 Ciammar a tha a h-uile duine a-nis?  An robh an t-samhraidh agaibh math?

Tha mise 's an teaghlach agam gu math. Tha an Samhradh air a bhith math ann an
Ceap Breatainn. Tha i gu math teth an diugh. ( Chan eil i teth an taca ri
Eadailt, ach 'nam bheachd fhéin. )

Am I and the family at-me well. Is the summer on being good in CB. Is it quite
hot today.  ( Is not it hot compared to Italy, but in-my opinion self... )

I and my family are well. The summer has been good in CB. It's quite hot
today.  ( It isn't hot compared to Italy, but in my own opinion.)

I was in Italy recently to see the Pope ...

 Angus, dear, you know that the silly questions from me are not

Leslie agus a h-uile duine,

Chanainn:  Tha fios agad nach bi na céistean ghòrach agam o 'n a bhios mi eòlach.

Uill, chan eil mise eòlach air a' Ghàidhlig  na 's motha. Chan eil ach triùir 's

Well, am not I knowledgeable on the Gaelic either.. Are not but three (people)
recognized (?) to-me all over the world about that would-say-I that were they
knowledgebale on thh Gaelic. Is it language deep that is in-her... I suppose that
is that that will-make so melodious, beautiful, substantial her.

Well, I'm not learned either. There are only three people I know about whom I
woulld  say that they were truly larned in Gaelic. It's a deep language... I
suppose that's what makes it so melodic, beautiful, and substantial.  (
"Sunstantial" is a very poor word to use here, but I can't think of a bbetter
one..)
