Gaelic Speakers

[MacTavishOfJapan]

I'm hoping to start learning at night school when I move home to Scotland.

I've picked up a CD and book from the library on Scottish Gaelic and I have to keep going back again and again to chapter one. It's awfully hard to learn because of the pronunciation.
I'm trying though!
There is a lady in my church who is from Wales and I understand she speaks gaelic. I haven't had the courage to try to speak it to her yet, but I've heard her say that Welsh and Scottish Gaelic are close enough that the two can understand each other.
When I can get past chapter one, I'll try to say hello (hallo! Caimar a tha thu?) to her in Gaelic.
