Hi! New beginner here

Hi all,
I'm A.C. from Auckland, New Zealand, 30-something, male, work in the education sector but my two great passions are music and history.
I have been learning gaelic for one week. So far so good…I think!
I am learning it because I plan a big trip to the scottish highlands in the next few years. I always find it a much richer experience if one can converse a bit with the locals. I also consider it a sign of respect. But with gaelic, it's more than that. I am passionately in favour of a reinvigoration of Scotland's historical, non-english languages, and I thought to myself "be the change you want to see in the world."
Since I have already learned a few languages (German, Latin, in French…going from left to right competency to incompetency) I am quick to pick up grammar.
Where is the best place to post questions about grammar in english?….hopefully can try a few sentences in gaelic before too long!
