I think you're right about the dictionary, James. The iRiver has no cursor and no way of supporting hyperlinks (that I've been able to find!), so it wouldn't be able to support an interactive context-sensitive dictionary, at least. At least not without a rewrite of the OS, as far as I can tell.

The Gaelic, I really enjoy, and my most recent class went really well (it just finished today, in fact). There's quite a good response to Gaelic here in OZ -- maybe not surprising when you consider that Australia was one of the standard destinations for emigrating Scottish Highlanders and people from the Western Isles from the time the Clearances began. A fairly hefty percentage of the Australian population has Scottish ancestry, and a growing number of folk is keen to recapture their heritage.

I'm impressed that you have a Mandarin learning group active in Eskilstuna, whatever the numbers. That's fantastic! Have you got a fluent teacher, or are you self-supporting?
