For the sake of pure listening a heritage project in Nova Scotia has taped interviews of folks speaking gaelic. Still over my head but I like listening to get a sense of the rhythm of the language and to listen to a variety of voices. Spelling is my biggest challenge!

    If you want another resource, there is the Gaelic College in Cape Breton who do 28 week long online Gaelic classes. It's just tricky because it's on Atlantic time, but if you are in NC then that would be reasonable to coordinate I'd think. I'm in a class right now through them and they have learners in Oregon, Michigan etc. I love it because we get to practice actually speaking it with other people and hearing it, learning about dialects etc. I think Jason from Gaelic with Jason may have actually gone through the Gaelic College as well initially? That's what I was told. But they teach in a similar way to Jason in focusing on repetition, speaking, and comprehension rather than the written part. They teach it the way babies learn and they call the teaching style Gàidhlig aig Baile. So far I'm really loving it. Maybe it would be something you'd be into as well!

    If you like Scottish and Gaelic songs, it would be a good idea to jump down the 'Runrig' rabbit hole. The band, founded on the island of Skye in the early 1970's, have a massive following, mainly in Scotland, Germany, Denmark and Canada, although they also have a sizeable following in England, the USA and other countries. Their first album, "Play Gaelic," has a very traditional folky feel and was released in 1978. They introduced songs with more bite, and in English, to their act/shows over the next couple of years and became an exceptionally successful live band - often listed under the genre of Celtic Rock (whatever that is). They retired recently after over 45 successful years in the music business and have shared a stage with U2, Meatloaf, Rod Stewart, Genesis, Rolling Stones, etc. They produced 14 studio albums and a massive number of live albums and compilations.
    The American astronaut Laurel Clark was a huge Runrig fan and 2 Runrig CDs were found intact amongst the wreckage of the space shuttle Columbia (where she died). The band pays tribute to Laurel on their 2016 album 'The Story.' The final track, "Somewhere", ends with a recording of her voice. She had a wake up call, on the shuttle, of Runrig's, "Running to the Light". She took their 2001, 'The Stamping Ground' CD into space with her. When the shuttle exploded the CD was found back on Earth, and was presented to the band by her family. These two songs are a good place to start, although both are in English. Great Gaelic songs to start with would be, "An Ubhal as Airde," "Cnoc Na Feille," "Abhainn An t-Sluaigh," "Canada" (which is partially in Gaelic and partially in English), "Siol Ghoraidh" and "Sona." (Sorry if the spelling isn't what I intended, something in this programme/site keeps changing what I type. Most songs can be found on UA-cam.

Well, I'm pretty proud on myself I understood everything you said in Gaelic in your video, yeah! I'm from Germany and I love Scotland, the people, the land, the music- and the language. Especially Mànran who I listen to for several years now- without understanding a word- let me thinking about starting to learn the language. So... I have Doulingo, I watched to all the videos of Jason already and now I will donwload the other app aswell. Got a book which tries to teach gaelic from german directly, but I first needed some vocabulary. Duolingo will be hard if I will get to a point where my english is too bad I guess.... So I actually learn gaelic and besides some more english, too. :D
    However, I just wanted to say thank you for the tip with the other app aswell. ;) By the way, my father's from Cymru so this should be the next language for me. Any suggestions how to learn that, too? Thanks in advance and go on learning all that beautiful languages.

Duolingo is great and Mango is also a good starter. If you know Irish, it talks a short while to add Scots Gaelic to your repotoir. This is especially true if you learn Ulster Irish.

    Gur math a thèid leat air do thuras. Tha cruinneachadh mòr agam de leabhraichean òrain Ghàidhlig agus clàraidhean Gàidhlig. 'S e neach-labhairt dùthchasach a bh' ann an mo sheanair às a' Cheann a Tuath a rugadh ann an 1886. Mar sin mar phàiste chaidh mo thoirt a-steach gu Albais (bho òrain is dàin Burns) agus Gàidhlig (puirt-pìoba agus slogan is tiotalan òrain). Chuala sinn Coinneach MacKellar a’ seinn ann an 1959 agus b’ e an TARTAN a’ chiad chlàr Albannach a bh’ agam. Mhìnich m’ athair agus mo sheanair dhomh gur e òrain Ghàidhlig Albannach a bh’ ann am mòran de na h-òrain bho thùs. Mar sin b’ e eadar-theangachaidhean neo atharraichean a bh’ ann an òrain Innse Gall agus tha dreachan Gàidhlig air mòran de na h-òrain aig Burns.
    Good luck in your journey. I have a large collection of Gaelic song books and Gaelic recordings. My grandfather was a native speaker from the North born in 1886. So as a child I was introducted to Scots (from songs and poems of Burns) and Gaelic (pipe tunes and slogan and song titles). We heard Kenneth McKellar perform in 1959 and my first personal Scottish record was the TARTAN. My father and grandfather explained to me that many of the songs were originally Scottish Gaelic songs. So the songs of the Hebrides were translations or adaptations and many of the songs of Burns have Gaelic versions.

    I'm so glad I found your channel! I tried my hand at learning Gaelic about three years ago with Duolingo (it was just on a whim, I have no connection to Scotland but I love the country). I gave up within a few months out of frustration with the lack of resources and accessible native content, and promptly switched to studying Korean. Fast forward three years and I'm already high intermediate in Korean and lower intermediate in Japanese, but I'm moving to Scotland in a month and the idea of being in Scotland has reignited my interest in Gaelic. So now I'm trying to sprinkle in some Gaelic between my Korean, Japanese, and Mandarin studies, and trying not to be too harsh on myself when I can't make as much progress with Gaelic as I have with Korean and Japanese, where I have thousands of tv shows, songs, and books to aid my studies. Learning an endangered language is tough, but we keep at it for the love of the language and the culture.
    On top of the resources you mention, I've also been using a website called speakgaelic.scot to relearn the basics, and another website called learngaelic.scot for pronunciation and grammar references. I would love to get my hands on that book of short stories that you mentioned, since reading is my favorite method for learning languages but it's so challenging to find good literature in Gaelic, especially as a learner!

    You're not learning Scottish "Gaylik", it's "Gahlik". "Gaylik" is Irish.

      In most of my videos, I refer to it is "Gahlik." However, for Americans who aren't familiar, sometimes I use "Scottish Gaylick" so they understand what I mean.

      He's not wasting his time though. If he plan on traveling to Scotland, I'm sure he can do some research before traveling, that way he can go somewhere in Scotland where Gàidhlig is mostly spoken. Should I also stop learning Gàidhlig since I live in a part of Scotland where I've never heard anyone speak the language? Yes, I have more options for books to read and there's a limited amount of tv shows online, but I'm still going to keep learning.
