Sadly I'm not lucky enough to have any fluent Gaelic speakers nearby (though I could probably find one if I looked with any degree of effort). Unless anyone here lives in the Sheffield area and wishes to teach me?

I'm fully with you with the singing phonetically by the way. Gaelic has different "rules" which I can't yet understand, whereas the Norwegian follows rules I can get my head around (WHERE DID THE Y SOUND IN "gheallaidh" COME FROM!?) and I always have Norwegian Ladyfriend to check. I'm treating these in the same way I treated French speaking at GCSE, which was "Learn the rules, learn the words". It meant I could go into that exam with the vague notions of what I could be asked but with answers I could invent on the spot.

Long and short is that if I don't feel like I'm doing it justice then I won't sing it, especially since I'll have to teach it to other people.
