I really talk about a bunch of different stuff in this one - which actually kind of makes sense, given I devote most of my time talking about the impacts I suspect my ADHD is having on my efforts to learn Scottish Gaelic. You may also hear a bit of a song I am learning and some Gaelic I wrote for my SMO class!
