Cymraeg? Laguage Preservation?  
Does anyone here have a Welsh language course they would recommend?

Also does anyone have experience with any good Gaelic (or other Celtic languages) charities that do language/cultural preservation, preferably in the Gaeltachta/Gàidhealtachdan?

Celticity  
A new project from the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh & Celtic Studies has just recently been brought to my attention. The full title they're using on their website is: "Project 5: The Celtic Languages and Cultural Identity: a Multidisciplinary Synthesis".

Their stated purpose is to "set up a long-term project to reveal in full detail the connections between the story of the Celtic languages and the cultural history of Europe-tracing the evidence of Celtic speech and the cultures of its speakers from the pre-Roman Iron Age to today."

The pages they have up right now include "An Atlas for Celtic Studies" and a "Celtic Lexicon" which includes work-in-progress version of a Proto-Cetic/English dictionary and selections from the Celtic core vocabulary.

I think this could be a very valuable resource for us to use to help us advance our own personal knowledge stores.
