Chapter 5 of the Neil McTaggart series.   A transcript is available. 

In this episode, Neil spends his first Saturday in Canada with his new family.  
They walk through the snowy fields and meet the MacLeods, fellow Scottish emigrants who speak both Gaelic and English. 

For the first time since his grandmother’s death in 1918, Neil hears the sound of Gaelic again. Among the MacLeods is Esther, a girl who will become important in Neil’s journey, both as a friend and as a guide in learning to read and write English.
