Is mise Faolan, agus tha mi a' fuireach anns na Stàitean Aonaichte.
I haven't been learning for very long, and would like a penpal who would be able to correct my grammar, and possibly be able to help with pronunciations.
Le meas

Welcome from me too!
Where are you learning, and how? Alone, in a course, with a book, with online resources?
There people on here doing all of these, or combinations, so you should find people who share your experience.
The section Gaelic 2012 is particularly aimed at learners who have just started (or re-started) this year, with various levels from real beginner upwards.
As GunChleoc says, post your questions, e.g. in the Grammar and Expressions section, and whoever has time (and answers
) will try to help!

. Skype: text-message dougfraser there - he has repeatedly offered to help people on Skype, and indeed regularly does so.
Maybe message the others in the Skype list on here too, saying where you got their Skype name from, in case they are suspicious.
- Gaelic TV and radio:
You should be able to get BBC Radio na Gàidheal (and other UK radio) live-streamed and in some cases with 'listen again' on the internet.
For UK TV via the internet you need to downlaod a proxy-server or equivalent, eg Expatshield or VPNUK (google them). You activate it when you turn on your pc, before you go on the internet. Then you can watch live, and some programmes you can watch again on the BBC i-player. The Gaelic TV channel is BBC Alba.

In addition to the things that Faoileag and GunChleoc have already suggested, may I also suggest the following... (I'm a US-based Scot in Baltimore, MD).
If you are interested in an Internet (Skype) based course, The Atlantic Gaelic Academy in Nova Scotia will be starting their courses in the next week or two (http://gaelicacademy.ca/). They even allow you to pay the fees (about $400 CDN a year) in installments if that works for you. How well this works with your schedule will depend on where you are, geographically and their class-times are based on Atlantic Time (GMT-4, USEastern+1).
Also, check out An Comunn Gàidhealach Ameireaganach (ACGA, http://www.acgamerica.org/) and consider joining. The also have many links on their website to local organizations offering Gaelic courses (online and CD-based).
Hope this helps!
