learn gaelic

I’ve always really thought about learning Gaelic since i was young. It is one of those languages that has largely been forgotton in the east coast and south of Scotland.

It’s something i’d love to learn mainly because it is part of my country and therefore a part of my identity, i only wish i could have learned it at school and be more fluent in it now.

Ciamar a tha thu?

I had a difficult time finding someone who speaks Gaelic even in Skye. On next return, I will try harder. I was told that when the “oldies” come to town in Portree (some market day?) that they often spoke Gaelic, but we didn’t have the opportunity to check that out. Ho hum. :\

Ah, the language of Ireland. So beautiful. Its so sad that so few people speak it now-a-days.

well i’m learning it!

:’) write it down in a booklet or something like that!

I think Gaelic is a cool language and I’ve really wanted to learn it for a couple years now. So if anyone out there can speak it (and willing to teach)that would be awesome! =]

I’ve always dreamed of learning Gaelic. From the few words that I’ve heard through Irish music and movies I think it’s a beautiful language. Although I have no Irish roots I’ve had many people ask me if I am Irish. I have red hair and brown eyes and freckles. My son, Aidan, is fair skinned has bright blue eyes and the redest hair I’ve ever seen he also looks like he is Irish. One day my son and I will travel there and I’d like to be prepared before I go.

my granda speaks gaelic and i think it would bring us closer together if i was more fluient in it… anyone who can help it would be awesome!!

I have been wanting to learn Gaelic for a few year now. I searched on the Internet and found one free software company. Rosetta Stone is WAY too expensive, unless when I’m done I can speak the language like a person who grew up speaking Gaelic would. And they won’t guarantee that. How did you all learn Gaelic? Did you use software? What software? Thank you all for your help!

My mother is Irish, and I lived there for a year in my formative years, and whilst there, I became quite confident in my speaking of it. We moved back to England and I forgot it all (except “Can I go to the toilet, please?” because if you didn’t know that, you didn’t go)

So in honour of my roots, I want to at least be come confident, if not fluent, in my use of Gaelic.

I’m irish and i would love to learn the language and surprise my grandmother
