    I HIGHLY recommend the radio garden app for your phone. There are several stations, especially in Northern Scotland and the Island that are in SGaelic.
    I tried to learn it years ago, but all my brain hears is Norwegian, and it tries to hard to focus on that. LOL.I think my poor brain has maxed out on languages.

    Irish and Scottish Gaelic have a common root but this is now considerable difference between the two. As an example, here is the phrase Good night; Sleep peacefully in both.

    Gaeilge (Irish): Oíche mhaith; Codladh sámh (pronounced: Ee-ha wah; Kul-ah saw-v)

    Gàidhlig (Scottish): Oidhche mhath; cadal sàmhach (Oy-cha Va; Kart-al sav-ach)

    In terms of a Gaelic dictionary, the Gaelic Lexicon is an excellent online source.

    I’ve been learning Gàidhlig since June using Duolingo, supplementing it with info from learngaelic.scot which happens to have a useful dictionary that includes IPA pronunciation as well as an audio file of someone speaking the word or phrase.
