Halò, a h-ùile duine!
This is a very extensive list originally posted on the Scottish Gaelic Forums by CFCUJY. (Note: I did not create or compile any of this— all I did was grab it and run to post it over here.)
…..………………………………………………………………
Here is a list of resources and links:
At Learngaelic.scot, there are two sets of “letters” – one for beginners and one for more advanced learners. There is a new letter about every week or two and all the past letters are on the website (several hundred past letters in each series). Topics vary and include folklore, history, Gaelic, nature.
Little Letters for intermediate users include audio and pdf with full translation. https://learngaelic.net/litirbheag/index.jsp
Letters for Learners include audio, pdf of Gaelic, and key terms and phrases translated - for more advanced learners. https://learngaelic.net/litir/index.jsp
Also on LearnGaelic there are quite a lot of other learning options with sound files (and sometimes plus video) that also include a full or partial translation. I have the Beginner’s Course on my phone. It has 60 lessons: https://learngaelic.net/lg-beginners/index.jsp
The Little by Little course is 35 lessons that include 2 or 3 conversations with Gaelic text and English translations, plus a little grammar and recordings for every conversation. Probably works best on a laptop. https://learngaelic.net/littlebylittle/index.jsp
Finally at LearnGaelic there are clips from all 4 TV series (18 shows each series) of Speaking our Language. Each clip has Gaelic text and English translations. Each lesson includes grammar points and a quiz at the end if you want to take it. The full videos are on youtube.

There is a BBC Alba youtube page that (probably) works world wide (iplayer only works in the UK) -- here is the path: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9QfDP ... qDg/videos
If you are in the UK -- BBC iplayer plays many BBC Alba shows
Acair has free recordings of some of the books it sells. Here is the free recording path. You have to go thru some steps to "buy" the recording, but then get a free immediate download. https://acairbooks.selz.com/
And here is the path to Acair Books, if you want to purchase any books. I bought the Spagan books when they were on sale for £1 each, because the recordings were also available. https://www.acairbooks.com/
Scotland's Parliament has a "word of the week" blog and a soundcloud page. https://soundcloud.com/scotparl/sets/ga ... f-the-week
Storlann has a number of pdfs and recordings for learners at its website. Here is the main page for their Ceumannan series of books. There are pdfs of the books, answer files, and recordings for all the lessons. http://www.storlann.co.uk/ceumannan/index.html And here is the pdf for Ceumannan Book 1: https://www.storlann.co.uk/ceumannan/le ... mbined.pdf
Akerbeltz.org has many pages of learning material. These are detailed grammar explanations by topic (see the contents page) and mostly don’t include recordings, except for the sound files. For example -- Fuaimean na Gàidhlig (Sounds of Gaelic) for learning pronunciation start here: http://www.akerbeltz.org/index.php?titl ... a_Gàidhlig
Beagan Gramair – Divides grammar topics by parts of speech. The contents page is here: http://www.akerbeltz.org/index.php?title=Beagan_gràmair
Misneachd has put up a helpful padlet, with many Scottish Gaelic online resources grouped by CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) levels - A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. It's called "Goireasan Ionnsachaidh" and here is the path: https://padlet.com/misneachd/ionnsachadh
Gaelic by Jason on youtube has a lot of great teaching videos and there is a playlist for beginners. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVX7Ra ... 7LEuli05tw
Gàidhlig Gu Leòr has a youtube page with a series of review videos for the Scottish esgoil National 5 Exams. There is also a padlet with pdfs of the slides. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9QhuY ... /playlists
https://padlet.com/gaidhligguleor/esgoiln5
At gaelicbooks.org (Comhairle nan Leabhraichean - The Gaelic Books Council) you can buy the Ceumannan books (see Storlann note above), DVDs for the Speaking Our Language shows from the 1990s (see LearnGaelic note above), and books mentioned elsewhere in the Duolingo forum such as Gaelic in 12 Weeks (OMaolalaigh), Complete Gaelic (Robertson and Taylor), Teach Yourself Essential Gaelic Dictionary (also Robertson and Taylor), Gramar na Gaidhlig (Byrne), for example.
