Here is one site that has a free translater & there is another site that you can actually listen to the translation in Irish Gaelic.  The other site has words in Irish Gaelic & gives you the definition of that word.

I presume you mean Scots Gaelic, the Irish language is known simply as Irish or Gaeilge. Just google learn scots gaelic online, and all different websites will come up.

Can't be done.  You'd have to say what origins you are including, not just which ones you are excluding.  There's really no such thing as English, historically speaking.  That's a comparatively recent development.  All the way back to way before Chaucer, which is used as an exercise in reading really old English, there was Latin mixed in.  There were words from Celtic, Angles, Saxons, and plenty of others.  You're about a thousand years too late to sort them out now.

I would go for Dutch but that is my own preference. I studied it for one year and gave it up though. The grammar and words are very close to German (it is a Germanic language afterwall) and so many words look like those in English. Bear in mind though that the prononciation is very, very difficult so if you are up to a challenge..It looks like German....but it does not sound like German.\n\nI know French so won't comment. But it would certainly help if I had to choose Spanish which is also a Romance (latin, not something romantic) language. But this is not a language which holds my interest so I would be useless.\n\nIf your maternal language is English, I think you are kind of lucky. Although English is considered a Germanic language, it has integrated much of the Romance languages via the French (1066).\n\nIf I were you, I would not go blind and find out too late that you just made the wrong decision.\n\nGo to a library, borrow some books and tapes, browse and listen to the sounds to see if you are attracted to one language more than any other. If you have a look-see first, I bet you will narrow your choice fairly quickly.\n\nWithout real motivation, a language is difficult to learn and you have - like somebody above said - follow your heart. Sooner or later, grammar will have you stumped and you will need your love of the language to maintain your interest.\n\nGood luck. Only you can make the choice you know.

I'm a native Irish speaker and I must say I agree. Irish is a difficult language as it is pronounced completely different to what it is written. I don't know myself but anyone I know who dosn't speak it thinks its a weird language with confusing grammar andabstract pronunciation. I love it though.

I would check with some resources in Peru, since Spanish and Japanese are the primary languages.

There are several Yahoo Groups devoted to things Icelandic, which might be a good place to start. You can look at them here:\nhttp://dir.groups.yahoo.com/dir/Regional/Countries/Iceland\n\nThis one especially might be helpful:\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/Discover_Iceland/\n\nMost of them seem to be in English.

You can learn Latin at textkit.com.  They have downloadable grammars and readers, and it is all free.  They have an online forum where you can post things.  I don't believe they have a lot of activity, but you can't beat the price.  Plus the moderators there actually know Latin.
