With many futile attempts to find an effective outlet to learn Scots Gaelic (books, cd's, classes, websites, one on one language practice) I have decided to borrow a friend's cd set on how to speak conversational Irish.
I have had the privilege of having a wonderful family who has done extensive genealogical research and we can trace our heritage back to Wales and even further back to Scotland. I know this sounds silly but my heart was set on learning Scots Gaelic. Do you think I am copping out by learning Irish? Note: I am not trying to say that Irish is second class to Scots Gaelic, its only a matter of preference.
