Welcome to Team Celts 2015!
This is the third time we have a team thread devoted to Celtic languages. In the previous threads (Clan Lugus 2013 and Team Celts 2014) you can read all about the what the participants have achieved. Some of us are here for the third time, some just joined their first. Some have started from scratch and others have studied the language(s) on and off for many years. Beginner or advanced - we’re all here to help each other up the ladder. In this installment of the Celtic TAC, the main focus languages are Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Welsh, and the following posts (will) contain resources. I keep additional placeholders just in case anybody else joins with another language from the family (Breton, Cornish or Manx). (Sign up instructions in bold face in the first post in this thread) 
Last year, Teango posted some really nice ideas (and I quote): [...]to get us all started, change things up a bit, and hopefully make next year all the more interesting: - A shared online document of resources for Celtic languages that is quick and easier to access/edit (e.g., Google Doc, Wikipedia page, external language blog). - A short profile of one of the six Celtic nations every two months (i.e., Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Isle of Man, Breton, Cornwall), or perhaps even just an interesting aspect of the highlighted country's people and culture, and of course a cool picture to go with it. - Quarterly challenges (another little thought: perhaps these could coincide with the Six Week Challenges on the Forum). - More regular team updates (e.g., monthly summaries, like little sections in traditional newsletters). - Group collaboration on other useful projects (e.g., building dialogue islands, aligning texts, translations). - Meetups on Google Hangout for the brave at heart! If anyone wants to contribute to any of this, super! Emme (captain of last year’s Scandinavian team) posted monthly challenges, and gave us the permission to borrow that idea (see below). Thanks, Emme! Our team members are: jbadg76421 (Irish) jeff_lindqvist (Irish) Josquin (Irish) liammcg (Scottish Gaelic) Mani (Welsh) sctroyenne (Irish) Shemtov (Scottish Gaelic) tangleweeds (Irish) Teango (Irish) Good luck all!
