    I would recommend the 'colloquial Scottish Gaelic' due to the great website with corresponding audio files for the lessons...

    Sure! Although it is probably best in context of listening along with the book lessons:

    It's also available in English and Scots.

    I have both versions. Only started to use the a little as I’m still working to understand proper pronunciation; so audio is helping most right now, but the graphic novel will help with more common phrasing.

    I've been searching the net for Information about the Island of Tiree, But I came across the National Library of Scotland which has a film and audio Library. there are many clips of pieces over the last 100 years . which often contain Gaidhlig both spoken and sung.
    Heres the bit I'm looking at at the moment..
