    In fact, there is. Arizona has Gaidhlig immersion week and Grandfather mountain hosts a similar event as well.

    Of course, Canada has events as well.

    I've been trying myself to get a hold of the language. Slowly rising out of beginner with help from a native speaker and another friend who is learning as well. Helps to have a group and try to use a few phrases each time.

    About 20 years ago, I had a pitiful command of phrasebook Gaelic, but I'm sorry to say that it has since degraded to pub phrases only.

    In honour of Seachtain na Gaeilge I've downloaded and started reading Lady Augusta Gregory's curated text of Cuchulain. If I can get to pronounce half of the names right, I'll be happy For anyone who hasn't seen it, there is a free internet archive called Sacred Texts containing a healthy Celtic section of myths, poems, epics, stories, etc. They even have a few offerings in Gaelic, for those who would like to practice reading:

    - An t'arm breac dearg

    And here is a somewhat more scholarly (also free) database including many texts in Irish:
