Who it’s for: Ages 6–11 and beginners of any age · families, schools and home-ed groups.

Printing: Print at 100% / actual size on A4 or US Letter. Inside pages use light backgrounds and print well in black and white; covers are dark, so start from page 2 to save ink. Phrase cards: print on thin card and cut along the dashed lines.

Where the Gaelic comes from: every Scottish Gaelic word and phrase was copied from LearnGaelic.scot (its Little by Little lessons, Quick Fix phrases and Twenty Words lists) or, for the council-area names, the Local Authorities list published by Ainmean-Àite na h-Alba, checked on 30 October 2026. The sources are listed on each pack’s credits page, and words we could not find in them were left out. The thu and sibh forms are labelled, following LearnGaelic’s lessons. We don’t invent English-letter sound guides: we point you to LearnGaelic, where every word in the Twenty Words lists has a sound clip. Drawings, puzzles and layouts are REALLYBYTE’s own work. scottish-gaelic.languages.im and REALLYBYTE are independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by LearnGaelic, Bòrd na Gàidhlig, Ainmean-Àite na h-Alba or any government body.

Licence: personal and single-classroom use. You may print as many copies as you need for your own family or your own class, and share it with your class through a password-protected platform. Please don’t resell, re-upload or share it publicly. For school-wide use, please email info@reallybyte.com.
