Where can I learn?

**Blueline72** · 19th January 14, 07:16 AM

I was just wondering if there were any books, videos, etc.. that one could learn Gaelic from? I doubt Rosetta stone has a module for it. I would love to learn a bit. My grandfather who passed quite a while ago seemed to know it, but I think he really only knew the more "colorful" parts that the children weren't allowed to hear in English.

Studying Gaelic is on my list of things to do, as well. This looks like a great place to begin. Thanks, Alan.

Get in touch with An Comunn Gaidhealach Ameireaganach , The American Scottish Gaelic Society. at this link: http://www.acgamerica.org/

They have links to local classes in various areas. In the past they've had resources for sale, e.g., dictionaries, grammars, audio lessons, etc. I don't see the list up at this time but you might ask to see if they have what you might need.

Cheers,

John - that's a great resource. $35/year and people are teaching via Skype? That's a steal.
Blueline - Rosetta Stone offers Irish as a module. I've been told repeatedly to learn Irish and just transition to Scot. I've been told. Just getting my feet wet too.

I am enjoying my Learn Gaelic app from the iTunes Store.

Its also available at learngaelic.net

If you serious, there is only one course: An Cursa Intrigidh, which is a distance learning course From Sabhal Mòr Ostaig. That is the Gàidhlig-medium college on the Isle of Skye, part of the University of the Highlands and Islands Highest recommendation - Robbie

And Rosetta Stone does in fact have a course for what they call "Irish".

It might be of some interest/use for some serious students of the language.

Cheers,

This is wonderful. Thanks for sharing. I might find time to draft something this afternoon.
