I started speaking three languages when I was three, so<br />
it’s not diffi cult. I like football and once a week we have<br />
football training in Gaelic. I’m now a news reporter on<br />
the children’s radio programme Aileag. It’s great fun,<br />
something new. I have to search the internet for news,<br />
then put it in Gaelic words to read on the show. I usually<br />
speak German to my mother, Engl<strong>is</strong>h to my father and<br />
sometimes I help them with their Gaelic because they are<br />
learning it. We have lots of German v<strong>is</strong>itors and I speak<br />
Gaelic when we v<strong>is</strong>it my Dad’s relatives in Inverness. I<br />
love reading books – in German, Engl<strong>is</strong>h and Gaelic. I’m<br />
proud of my languages. If I have children, I would like<br />
them to speak Gaelic, Engl<strong>is</strong>h and German.<br />
