| Instructor | Ma bhios tu a’ falbh ro luath, thèid do stad leis na poilis. | If you go too fast, you’ll be stopped by the police. |
| Learner | Tha mi an dòchas nach tèid mo stad leis na poilis a-rithist. | I hope that I’m not stopped by the police again. |
| Instructor | A-rithist? | Again? |
| Learner | Seadh. Tha Coinneach air a bhith gam thoirt a-mach anns a’ chàr, agus chan eil e uabhasach math. Aon latha bha sinn a’ dràibheadh dhachaigh nuair a chaidh ar stad leis na poilis. | Yes. Kenneth has been taking me out in the car, and he isn’t very good. One day we were driving home when we were stopped by the police. |
| Instructor | Carson a chaidh ur stad? | Why were you stopped? |
| Learner | Bha na poilis ag ràdh gun robh mi cunnartach air an rathad. | The police said that I was dangerous on the road. |
| Instructor | An robh gu dearbh? | Did they indeed? |
| Learner | Bha. | Yes. |
| Instructor | Uill, tha mi an dòchas nach tèid ur togail leis na poilis an-diugh. | Well, I hope that you are not picked up by the police today. |
| Learner | Cha tèid, cha tèid. Chan eil sinn a’ falbh cho luath ’s a b’ àbhaist dhomh. | No. I won’t be. We are not going as fast as I used to go. |
| Instructor | Agus cha bhi sinn a’ falbh luath idir. | And we won’t be going fast at all. |
| Learner | Cha bhi. | No, we won’t. |
| Instructor | Tha sibhse fada nas fheàrr na Coinneach. | You are much better than Kenneth. |
| Instructor | Tapadh leat. | Thank you. |
| Learner | Ma nì mise rud sam bith ceàrr, thèid mo chàineadh le Coinneach. Agus nuair a bhios mise a’ dràibheadh, bidh an t-eagal air. Agus bidh e a’ dùnadh a shùilean. | If I do anything wrong, I’m scolded by Kenneth. And when I’m driving, he’s afraid. And he closes his eyes. |
| Instructor | Bidh e a’ dùnadh a shùilean? | He closes his eyes? |
| Learner | Bithidh. Agus chan urrainn dhomhsa coimhead air an rathad agus air a’ chloc. | Yes. I can’t look at the road and at the clock. |
| Instructor | Nach urrainn? | Can’t you? |
| Learner | Chan urrainn. Faodaidh sibhse coimhead air a’ chloc agus coimheadaidh mise air an rathad, agus cha tèid ar stad leis na poilis. Ceart? | No. You can look at the clock and I'll look at the road and we won’t be stopped by the police. Right? |
