    Where can I learn?

    I was just wondering if there were any books, videos, etc.. that one could learn Gaelic from? I doubt Rosetta stone has a module for it. I would love to learn a bit. My grandfather who passed quite a while ago seemed to know it, but I think he really only knew the more "colorful" parts that the children weren't allowed to hear in English.

    Get in touch with An Comunn Gaidhealach Ameireaganach , The American Scottish Gaelic Society. at this link: http://www.acgamerica.org/

    They have links to local classes in various areas. In the past they've had resources for sale, e.g., dictionaries, grammars, audio lessons, etc. I don't see the list up at this time but you might ask to see if they have what you might need.

    Cheers,

    John - that's a great resource. $35/year and people are teaching via Skype? That's a steal.
    Blueline - Rosetta Stone offers Irish as a module. I've been told repeatedly to learn Irish and just transition to Scot. I've been told. Just getting my feet wet too.
