Learning Gaelic?

Question

Is there somewhere I can go or something I can buy to learn Gaelic?

I know that there are some parts of Ireland that still speak Gaelic natively, and that there are classes available to the public that teach it, but I really don't have that kind of money, nor am I in a situation in my life where I could up and leave and move to Ireland long enough to learn the language.

I also know that Rosetta Stone (the computer language program) is currently taking votes from people for the next language they will offer, and I know Rosetta Stone is a good way to learn languages. While Gaelic is on the list, there's no guarantee they will offer a program for it, and if so when it will come out.

I am looking for alternative methods to learning this near-dead language.

I know that you can buy teach yourself Irish casettes and cd's on ebay. Do you know anybody who can speak Irish that would be willing to help you out with the basics even? Just to get you started??i think it's brilliant that you want to learn the language. I was lucky enough to be educated in Ireland where it was compulsory. Beautiful language. Good luck with it.
