Hello everyone and nice to meet,

I am a new member of this forum. I have become interested in learning Gaelic (a foreign language for me)
quite simply from a single word, this word being "Sláinte" (I am pursuing health studies atm).

The reason for this topic is that I require help in beginning or organizing my language learning process of Gaelic.
I wish, or seek the exact translation of the following english words so that I may create the appropriate folders in Gaelic.
https://gyazo.com/a44c4a2f136b6499aaa8f76a67ca5018
and inside these folders I am aiming for..

https://gyazo.com/19776c81a4e08fdbd4371ac72e0be0c0
In other words ^ ^ I need to determine these exact translations:
Alphabet = ?
Conversation = ?
Count = ?
Course = ? ...Beginner, Advanced
Grammar =
Syntax = ? ...Adjective, Adverb, Pronoun, Verb
Vocabulary = ?

I wish to thank you for your hospitality, time and assistance!

P.S. I am only now realizing there are even numerous forms of Gaelic,
therefore I have added '(CO)' for standard although still wonder about
the other forms and if/how I should learn these.. Trying to understand.

By "count" do you mean numbers? Irish has three numbering systems, depending on whether you're counting objects, counting people, or just counting on your fingers.

Irish has three primary dialects: Munster, Connacht, and Ulster. These are dialects, not different languages, and there's no need to learn all three. Most people focus on one, though it's nice to know what some of the differences are so you can recognize them.

"Gaelic" is usually used for the related, but different, language spoken in Scotland.

Thank you for explaining to me Redwolf.

I meant count as in
(1) = one/"in gaelic"
(2) = ... etc.

Although, now I wish to learn all three ^ ^

Would you be able to lead me to a resource, such as a book or site?
Have I structured my request wrong with the words I have provided?

P.S. Is there a count for each of the dialects as well?

No, but as I said, the numbering systems vary depending on whether you're simply counting out loud, counting things, or counting people.

So if you just want to count out loud, without actually counting things, 1 - 10 is:

A haon
A dó
A trí
A ceathair
A cúig
A sé
A seacht
A hocht
A naoi
A deich

But you can't say "a haon duine" (one person) or "a dó carr" (two cars)...things get different when you start to put words after then numbers.
