People here in Nova Scotia,(specifically, Cape Bretoners, since their island is such a destitute, pointless shithole they're looking for any ground of culture or economy to break away from us with) try to pretend to be Gaelic, and learn Gaelic, and make Gaelic music, but in reality nobody cares.

Probably because people from Nova Scotia are fucking Gaelic, you dumbass.
And >>1, by Gaelic do you mean Gàidhlig or Gaeilge? They are different. For example,
Dè an t-ainm a tha ort? (Gàidhlig)
versus
Cad é an t-ainm atá ort? (Gaeilge)

I am sorry I didn't specify.
Irish Gaelic, so Gaeilge if I am correct.
I am learning it independently. ( I may have help from Irish friends/neighbors. ) So I was wondering if it is in particularly hard to do it alone.

With neighbors, you're not completely fucked. If you were studying without the benefit of native speakers nearby, you'd never get the pronunciation down at all.
Learn fucking elisions before anything. Learn the phonetics of the language or you're entirely screwed. Especially with a language where "eilidh" is pronounced "aylee".

Just like welsh; fucking confusing as all hell.
