One Question currently the season:
I've searched the forum.
Are there any christmas songs/chorales in gaelic?
Something like "Jingle Bells" or such. Popular Songs, where you know the english text, maybe...
I couldn't find anything here...
I'm grateful for every tip.

Móran taing!
I think it will be easier for me if I learn Gaelic with games and songs too.

That's a good thing to do, because it puts the language in context insted of just memorising random phrases

My opinion. I am learning a lot by listening. It is easier for me.

There's a book to go with the CDs too, with quite a lot of the songs (16), including the sheet-music (with accompanimenzt) and the lyrics.
