Also, I am sooo interested in learning Celtic and or Gaelic. Can anyone tell me how to go about beginning that process.

Irishkate, I've split this off as a separate topic to get you more help.

First you will need to decide whether you want to learn Scottish Gaelic ("Gaelic") or Irish Gaelic ("Irish"). If you need to know the differences, just ask.

Others will be along shortly with more advice.

My "specialty" is Connemara Irish, particularly Cois Fhairrge dialect, but I can also speak Ulster and Munster Irish with native-level pronunciation.
Is fearr Gaeilge ḃriste ná Béarla cliste, cinnte, aċ i ḃfad níos fearr aríst í Gaeilge ḃinn ḃeo na nGaeltaċtaí.
Gaeilge Chonnacht (GC), go háraid Gaeilge Chois Fhairrge (GCF), Gaeilic Uladh (GU), Gaelainn na Mumhan (GM), agus Gaeilge an Chaighdeáin Oifigiúil (CO).

Best way to learn would be a class if there is one in your area. Other than that a book and cd will get you started start listening to music as gaeilge tg ceithre and start putting post it notes on everything eg would be one on the door that said door "Doras" rubbish bin "bruscar araid" etc.

Talk as much irish as you can everyday as much as possible doesnt matter how small amount you have start using it . Come on here and play the games look in the usefull links sections start reading childrens books build up your vocabulary.

I agree with Cytex. Post notes everywhere! Reference to Brendan's comment, I suggest Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge). There are more opportunities to speak and hear it and there are WAY more materials for learning, etc. Also, personally you could say that Gaeilge (Irish Gaelic) is the mother language of Gadhlig (Scottish Gaelic). Native speakers I know in Donegal tell me they understand Scottish Gaelic pretty well and vice-versa.

LOL, mo mhadra had post-it issues! She ate mo fhuinneog! Apparently, little bits of yellow paper are tasty! And God forbid there's a breeze and they flap invitingly....

I am a learner. Any translations offered are practice and should not be used unless confirmed.

Just to add, there is no such language as "Celtic." "Celtic" refers to a family of languages that includes Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Manx, Welsh, Cornish and Breton.

As far as Irish goes, there are plenty of good learning products out there these days, if you can't find a class. We review some of them here:
