Learning Gaelic

I tried the British Council for books and courses on Gaelic - I could just as well have asked for the next bus to the moon...

But after all they had a quite cool dictionary by Angus Watson, explaining grammar, phrase-forming and a lot more.
It is quite expensive, though, 20 pounds is a lot of money to me. It's a pity I have to give this book back to them, especially because I was the only one in years to take it from the shelf. I hope they will sell it for a few Euros some day if nobody else comes to read it.

Amazon.com offers a vast collection of courses, dictionaries and even wee books (fairytales, proverbs etc.).
So I will have to work a lot of hours extra... ;=)

But at least I have a faint hope to enable myself to understand (after 10 or 20 years of learning ;=)) the words of Ishbel MacAskill's songs.
