The travellers are getting a bit hungry and thirsty in this summer month of barbecues and parties. So our lesson will help them to let people know that they’re famished or need a drink. Listen to Seanair and Munro conversing. You’ll soon find out if they’re hungry or not!

Munro	A bheil an t-acras oirbh? Are you hungry? (plural/formal)
Seanair	Tha gu dearbh! A bheil an t-acras ort? Yes, indeed! Are you hungry?
Munro	Oh, tha! Tha an t-acras gam tholladh! Oh, yes! I’m famished with hunger!
Seanair	Tha am biadh deiseil a-nis. The food is ready now.
Munro	Tha seo math! This is good!
Seanair	Tha e gu math blasta. It is very tasty.

Now listen to their conversation.
