Teach yourself spelling its GAELIC not gailic!! (I'm only messing ;) ) I'm glad your taking up the language :thumbs: are you aware its not officially recognised by the UK/British government?? It was banned from being spoken and taught in our schools at one time and you could be transported for seven years for conversing in it!. The English and Welsh language is recognised by the department of work and pensions along with Vietnamese, Urdu, Cantonese Punjabi and a multitude of East European languages but the three native languages of Scotland are not?? GAELIC, DORIC and BROAD SCOTS are deleted from the dwp's list as confirmed in a letter I received from them when I queried the anomaly :angry: Some-one in Scotland can have a government medical conducted in Welsh and English and the other languages mentioned earlier but not in any of their native tounges as these languages are not catered for??

I can manage a little French when on holiday and would like to learn German and become more fluent in French, its embaressing when you are abroad and our fellow countrymen come out with the "don't they speak English" or try to compensate by increasing the volume.......................
