How to Learn Celtic Languages

The non-extinct Celtic languages are Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Welsh and Breton. Though obtaining materials for these languages can be a challenge, audio learning kits provide an introduction to the language and culture. Supported with translation and conversation practice, learning a Celtic language -- despite its scarcity -- can be achieved.
