Hello. It appears I'm going to need to learn to speak a bit of Gaelic, or at least be able to pronounce it fairly well. Can anyone recommend the best way to learn, so I can both understand and be able to sing some of the lovely Gaelic ballads? I've checked several websites on pronunciation and have a Gaelic dictionary, but I cannot seem to make any headway with either. Is there a good website, or would someone recommend learning tapes or books? Thanks to anyone who can help.

Where do you live? We might be able to help if we knew that.

Undine if you put 'gaelic' in the filter box and set the age box to a couple of years then hit refresh you will get lots of threads some of which will be of interest

Two things, Undine.

1 - Which Gaelic

2 - Where in the USA? there are locations which have Gaelic learners groups.
