Im looking to learn Scottish Gaelic... Anyone know of a good online language tutor? I looked online and found a couple "useful phrases" sites but I wanna try to become fluent.

"free online" --- probably not for scottish. most of the free sites like duolingo focus on the "bigger" languages i.e. spanish, french, german.
never seen scottish as a choice on any of them.
there's a handful of sites that focus on east asian languages too.
try your local library, they might have some good resources.0 -
I've used an earlier version and it is helpful for learning a language, but Gaelic isn't a very spoken language. If you do learn Gaelic, it might be hard to find someone else who speaks it and not practicing a language is the fastest way to lose the skill.0

I might have better luck just developing a Scottish accent then huh? lol I honestly would love to pick up a bunch of phrases to use regularly but really want to learn it in a whole. But like you said who would I speak Gaelic with?0 -
I use to speak French pretty well, but since I have no one to speak it with, its basically gone to rot. If it is a passion of yours to learn Gaelic, you should. Learning a second language has other benefits associated with it, like cognitive function and memory.0

I had started the Rosetta Stone for Japanese and felt the same way.0
