    Gaelic with Jason is a great course and affordable. He's a WONDERFUL teacher.. He also has tons of free videos on UA-cam.

    Happy I've found this channel. My wife and I are begging to learn Scottish Gaelic. We plan on teaching our kids and being a random family in the Appalachian mountains that speaks the language.

      Thay actually makes sense, as many people that live in the Appalachians are decendents of irish and scottish immigrants, particulary from the Highlands.

      Repetition is one of the most important things for language acquisition. It sounds like you're doing the best thing, though, by mixing resources!

      Scots Gaelic is the language that came to Scotland from Gaelic expansion during the times of Dál Riata and is a sister language of Irish. Scots is a language that came from pre English Anglo Saxon language, English and Scots are sister languages.
