It's never too late to learn a Celtic language

We know that great strides are being made in developing Celtic language education for those of school age. Well let's not forget adult learners and here's an item from Scottish newspaper the Aberdeen Press and Journal: 'A Skye teacher who only started learning Gaelic in earnest after he retired has scooped one the language’s biggest prizes. John Howieson, from Harrapool, has been named the Gaelic learner of the year at The Royal National Mod in Inverness.' It just goes to show that it is never too late to start and enjoy learning one of the remaining six Celtic languages spoken in the world today- Cornish, Scottish Gaelic, Irish, Manx, Breton and Welsh.

For those looking to learn outside of the six Celtic nations look for the societies that can link you in with other enthusiasts. There are also increasing opportunities for learning on-line. Here are just a few useful links but there are more out there if you search:
