Hello again!
As you probably know, there are some Goidelic languages that still nowadays are spoken in certain areas of Ireland (Gaeltacht), Scotland and Canada (Nova Scotia) under the general name of Gaelic.
Gaelic is totally different from English as it isn't Anglosaxon,it is a Celtic language.
For those interested, here are some free online "courses" and information about this lovely language which nowadays sometimes you can hear in the so called "Celtic music":

FORAS NA GAEILGE (Irish organization for promoting this language throughout the island):

COURSE OF SCOTS GAELIC:
