Cross your fingers!!!

Best of luck to you! You'll probably not be as active on here as you currently are, and I want to be the first to say that we miss you already!

Thanks all! And don't worry -- you won't be able to get rid of me that easily!

As for a Gaelic course, I do know that they are trying to expand their model of language teaching to more languages. I might drop a few hints...

[Galician]

Glad to hear that you won't be lost to us! Btw, will you need to move after all or not?

Part of the problem with designing a Gaelic course would be overcoming the hurdle of which dialect to teach. Scots gaelic or Irish? If Irish, do you favour Donegal Irish, Kerry Irish, Meath Irish, or Dublin Irish? And jeasus don't forget Cork! And if you think people get partisan about kilts, wait until they start trying to learn Irish (oops! sorry-- Gaelic).

It's always tough to choose which language to teach. Even if there's a standard language, there will generally be plenty of people who rarely speak it and prefer their own dialect outside of very formal situations. But they could always try the approach of German books, where they teach the most common version and then they introduce small characters from Switzerland, Austria or Berlin to add in some dialectal flavor.
