Teach Yourself Gaelic. It comes with cds.
Here is a good website: BBC - Alba - Beag Air Bheag

Where are you located. Some areas either have classes for Gaelic or have social groups that get together and study/practice Gaelic.

Cheers

Keying "Scottish Gaelic" into your web brouser will throw out plenty of sites offering Gaelic publications. Some even offer tutorials free of charge over the web.
