As far as Celtic languages, I've subscribed to a Welsh music channel called called "Ochr 1". It's a whole lot of alternative indie rock and some electronica, as far as I can tell. And Welsh, of course.

Genders are going to confuse me too they did in Spanish, I've only started learning German back in December so I'm still on the very basics. But there are quite a few bands that sing in German, so I made a playlist on Spotify of songs only in German so I can familiarize myself with words and how they're pronounced, I just need books that teach more than just phrases, like grammar rules, sentence structure, when to use the correct forms of the (der, das, die) etc. I'm just tired of only knowing one language, I have many friends on Facebook that speak more than one language and I guess I got jealous and turned that jealousy into something productive by trying to learn a second language. Spanish would make more sense since I live in the US and many people here speak it, but no I have more of a longing to learn German.
I do know someone who taught themselves Latin, Spanish, Italian, and has been learning Russian for the past 2 years. All I know is at my age 26, learning a second language isn't going to be easy.
