Scots or Irish, Katharine?

I think there is something  - at least links to pages - off the BBC pages, for 
Scots Gaelic at least.  I can't remember how I stumbled across this - I think 
it came off a page which had lots aboutelarning different languages, but I'm 
not sure the URL had anything that specified educational in it.

Being the incredibly shallow person that I am, I'd like to learn a bit about
Gaelic*  to impress someone. Ahem. Are there any websites out there that
would give me the basics of pronunciation and that sort of thing, or even an
online dictionary?

Thanks,

Katharine

all
easy)



They do say, Mrs Miggins, that verbal insults hurt more than physical pain.
They are of course wrong, as you will soon discover...when I stick this
toasting fork in your head.

If it's Scots Gaelic try http://www.smo.uhi.ac.uk/beurla/ - that's 
the Gaelic college of the University of Highlands and Islands: online 
dictionary. And you can use the search SMO box to search for the 
pronounciation guides. (I find it difficult, personally, my brain and 
tongue are not made for Gaelic!)

What you need to do Katharine is wait until you get those nasty white floaty 
bits in your cup of tea and then you casually remark,  Tor arn bahn-ya 
gair.
