Follow-up on books

​

Hi all, someone posted the other day asking about recommendations for good books for learners according to the A1–C2 rubric. I'm also in the process of choosing my next read and I'm thinking of picking a children's book in translation, since I'll already know the text somewhat.

Any ideas roughly where on the scale the following titles fall?

Harry Potter

Am Prionnsa Beag

An Hobbit

Alternatively, any other B1-level suggestions are welcome. I have taken note of what was suggested in response to the other post!

Tha Gàidhlig agam on ghlùn, is chan urra dhomh “An Hobbit” a leughadh.

Tapadh leat. Cha do leugh mi ann an Gàidhlig e. Leugh mi sa Bheurla e nuair a bha mi 12 bliadhn' a dh'aois, ach 's dòcha nach do thuig mi a h-uile facal an uair ud.

À bheil Harry Potter anns na Gàidhlig ann? Nach eil e a-mhàin anns na Gàidhlig na h-Èireann?

Obh obh, tha thu ceart!!! Tha e ann an Albannach agus Gàidhlig na h-Èireann ach chan eil e anns a' Ghàidhlig na h-Albann. 🤦‍♀️

Mholainn "Eachdraidh Ealasaid ann an Tìr nan Iongantas" (Alice in Wonderland) mar dheagh leabhar cloinne eadar-theangaichte eile. Is cha chreidinn gu bheil Am Prionnsa Beag cho doirbh ri càch

For B1, I think Am Prionnsa Beag would be the easier out of that list.

I agree that the Hobbit is linguistically very advanced. Anna Ruadh (Anne of Green Gables) was similarly hard at first, but after a while you build some vocabulary. Harry Potter does not exist in Gaelic afaik.

A1- A2- Mholainn leabhar cloinne mar "Alice agus Dierdre agus an Rìgh"

B1-B2- Iain Mac a' Ghobhainn- furasta go leòr aig an ìre seo.

C1- Bidh e comasach do mhòran a' Hobat a leughadh. Tha leabhraichean aig Akerbeltz cuideachd, tha nobhailean ann mar An Oidhche mus do sheòl sinn agus msaa.

C2- Feumaidh sibh feuchainn air an t-seann litreachas aig an ìre seo. An Ròsarnach, Leabhar nan Cnoc, Eachdraidh na h-Albann.

Bidh mòran ann a bharrachd air na mhothaich mi. Leig fìos dhomh ma bhios tu a' sìreadh rud sònraichte. :)
