Irish Gaelic, at least, is available on Duolingo. I&#x27;ve thought about learning it before; I listen to the music constantly and while I don&#x27;t normally enjoy learning languages, this is one of the few that I feel drawn to based on its sheer beauty.<p>That said, I don&#x27;t know how you make people care about preserving something when they seemingly just don&#x27;t. Maybe you can cultivate genuine appreciation for the language, but it&#x27;s no surprise that&#x27;s it&#x27;s easier to just use English, and I don&#x27;t see very many people using it purely out of a sense of duty. Languages are natural things and their usage has to come from a natural, human motive. It&#x27;s hard to prop that up artificially.

Glossika, which I use and recommend for other languages, has a free Gaelic course:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ai.glossika.com&#x2F;language&#x2F;learn-scottish-gaelic" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ai.glossika.com&#x2F;language&#x2F;learn-scottish-gaelic</a>
