Got really bored of seeing these sort of articles churned out, so I’ve started learning it. If you check out the language app, Mango, you can start free lessons today.
Mango is able to give you both the literal meaning of what you’re saying as well as how it’s understood. It also explains grammar points remarkably well for an app.
Here’s an example of how it’s understood and what the words literally mean. 
Also drops in wee culture notes on usage and other things.
It’s not all reading though. Mango constantly quizzes you on your progress using a language learning method called spaced repetition so expect to get the same question a few times so you remember it. I use the same with Chinese and Russian.
Language learning apps are getting more refined, but obviously we can’t expect to be fluent solely based on an app. Learn with a friend, start greeting each other in Gaelic, everyone’s got to start somewhere.
For those interested it’s also worth checking out @LearnGaelicScot. They work exceptionally hard and have lessons available for beginners on their site. They also have a list of Gaelic classes available across Scotland.
