Are you learning or interested in learning? Well I just wanted to let all of you know that there is a new Gaelic group at yahoo especially for those of us who also happen to be Christians!
How do you get there? Simple! Just click on the link in my sig below!
Hope to see you there!

'S i Alba tìr mo chridhe. 'S i Gàidhlig cànan m' anama. Scotland is the land of my heart. Gaelic is the language of my soul.
That sounds really cool. Unfortunately right now keeping my children's schedules in my head is more than I can manage. Maybe someday.

Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. - Frederick Buechner
If society prospers at the expense of the intangibles, how can it be called progress?

I'm learning Gaeilge (Irish Gaelic) right now. It is slow and comig since I'm learning from a site all by myself. Bail ó Dhia ort (The blessings of God on you).

P.S. Great idea Wizardofowls, Maybe you can help me out sometime if your learning Gaeilge? Sláinte!

Oh, darlin' I would LOVE to help except for one small problem - I'm learning the Scottish Gaelic! And our online group is for the Scottish variety as well! I'm so sorry! I should have clarified that in the initial post! I hope, someday, to learn Irish after I have mastered the Scottish, but at the rate I'm going now that will be a LONG time in the future!
Here are some comparisons of the two, though!
Conas atá tu? (How are you?) In the Scottish, this would be Ciamar a tha thu?
Tá mé ceart go leor. (I'm fine.) Tha mi ceart gu leòr.

There already is a Scottish Gaelic Thread in the Scotland Forum---CelticRose is a part of that one. Go and check it out. Catriona is the Moderator over there and her wealth of knowledge about Scotland is enormus.
Allen, does this mean you're going to Scotland one day? Or have you been already?
I am planning to go next year and Catriona is helping me with all that! She is wonderful about helping with anything pertaining to Scotland! She doesn't know Scots Gaelic though!
Does your Irish gaelic site have sound clips. I am interested in learning some Irish Gaelic for songwriting purposes. Also I have a CD that is entirely in Gaelic and I do not know if it is Scots or Irish variety but I would love to know what they are saying.
Peace

I can't remember the name Jason. It is one of those in that song contest that I have been doing the screening on. I just finished it and I have this disk still laying on my desk at home. I will look and post it tonight.
BTW the York Street guy has been putting Arminta off. We may have to pull out the big guns and have me call him
Peace Mikel
