Hello Mr. Kaufmann,

I would like to express my gratitude for all the inspiration that that you have provided with your video blog, and I am wondering if lingq might now, or in the future, offer a course for Gaelic.

Thank you,
Ben Lute
We all hope it will, but the LinQ team has expressed their unwillingness to expand the number of provided languages in the short term. See http://lingqcentral-en.lingq.com/change-in-beta...
I would also like to see Gaelic made available in a beta format.
Those of you who would like to see a beta language added should vote in the Facebook poll (https://www.facebook.com/questions/101502497052...) and invite your friends to do the same.
It is difficult but not impossible to reach the 1,000-vote bar, if you just believe in it.
I'm Irish and would love to throw a few lessons up.
Have you already voted for Irish?
i have voted for both irish and welsh! ive been reading/watching videos about the celtic languages lately and ive heard that irish kids have to learn it in school (or have their entire schooling be in irish) but they never really learn to speak it and hate it! so i think as is the case with most foreign languages kids in ireland would benefit from having something like lingq in which they can just listen and read things they are interested in and it would actually do more to revitalize the language than the current system is doing now. theres potential here.
Yep!
Osaieh, your right! Some schools are Gaelic schools which teach everything through Irish. But even in the regular schools you must study Irish for 8 or so years. Kids in general hate it, but this is mainly because school here is public and children are coerced and forced into school. Force a human to do anything and they will have a negative reaction to it. I haven't used it for about 10 years so I'd need to do a refresher on it, but since it would be voluntary I'd glady do it. Children could benefit greatly from Lingq and I've recommeded it to some of my cousins stuck in the school prision system.
We are not adding languages right now, unless there is a large demand. This may change in the future. What kind of resources are out there for Gaelic?
