Re:Re:Suitable languages
Hi there,
I would definitely recommend learning Gaelic. However, to be honest, Gaelic wil be of limited use to you, even in Scotland or Ireland, where everyone also speaks English. The same is true of Welsh.
Gaelic and Welsh are separate (though related) languages so you won't be able to understand one if you study the other. But the native language of Scotland and Ireland are both dialects of Gaelic, so if you learn one you can probably understand the other.
You could also try learning some other European languages while you're in the UK. Most UK universities will offer French, German and Spanish classes.
I can't recommend any UK universities, but in the Republic of Ireland Trinity College (in Dublin) is very popular with foreign students and offers a wide range of language courses.
