@NatDemUK I'm impressed LOL, next is to learn Welsh, Gaelic, Manx and Cornish !!! It would be interesting to know whether anyone can speak all the indigenous languages of the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man (English, Gaelic, Welsh, Manx and Cornish)

@theworldvideos1 if it helps, there is an scottish gaelic course at the BBC Alba website, I must retake it :D

@breizhcatalonia1993 Scottish Gaelic is different from Scots language. Scots language is basically English creole with some scottish gaelic words. Whereas Scottish Gaelic is a celtic language, not much different from Irish Gaelic. In fact Irish and Scottish Gaelic are mutually intelligible.
