Learning Gaelic with the help of BBC Scotland

Several years ago I went through a learning Gaelic phase. What I discovered was that it is really hard to learn Gaelic without hearing it spoken. There were a few audio files on the internet but multi-media was just getting going at the time. Now BBC Scotland has a Gaelic radio station you can listen to over the web and a ton of resources for learning Gaelic. Like this great cartoon called Colin and Cumberland. And get this… the best part…. Colin is a Scot who gets a job at a radio station by pretending he can speak Gaelic- but only his dog can, so he has to fake it to everyone, and his dog actually does the radio show. Heheh.
