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.

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.

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.

Been Watchin some YouTube videos on Gaelic for beginners.... Holy eff. Lol the written vs pronunciation is so completely different! Beautiful language but confusing as crap!

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

Found a couple apps for my phone and have learned a few things... One thing ive learned is nothing sounds like it looks AND this is how you say "please" - "Mas e do Thoile E".... that's a lot for please
