Outlander Gaelic

[drctl]

So then, is the Gaelic spoken in Outlander regardless of the coaches, utter crap, a fair attempt or pretty good?

I don't know who here is a Gaelic speaker but I'd think it very good to have any that are to weigh in.

I do not speak Gaelic, I DO like the Outlander tv series, I have not read the books. That being said my wife is a fan of the series too and she found this article and mentioned it to me a while ago. At least one of the actors has not gone to "method acting" at least according to this interview. When it comes time to speak Gaelic he speaks gibberish.

I do not speak Gaelic, so I don't know if Lacroix is actually speaking gibberish, or if he means that the Gaelic he speaks is incomprehensible to him, therefore gibberish to him. I've seen a fair number of actors just taught to make a certain set of sounds that are actually a phrase in another language, rather than knowing that language, so it's possible they just give him a guideline on what sounds to make.

Can anyone who speaks Gaelic comment on whether or not Murtagh Fraser is speaking gibberish?
