Can you learn gaelic pronunciation without learning to speak gaelic?

That's probably because it isn't your mother tongue. Get out of that one.

It isn't my mother tongue coz I don't live in the west and please don't start the gaelic was spoken all over thing coz it wasn't.

Why didn't I think of that?

That's the way it's spelled in Scotland. It's also pronounced "Gallic".

It's only spelt 'Gaidhlig' if you are writing in the language. If you are writing in English (like we are here) it's always spelt 'Gaelic'. It does annoy me when people talking about Scottish Gaelic pronounce it 'gaylic' rather than 'gallic' though - 'gaylic' is Irish Gaelic.

I want to sing a song in gaelic but I don't speak it

Is it possible to learn how to pronounce it if you're not fluent? I have the lyrics.

A lot of singers sings songs in foreign languages they don't speak a work of.

You just need to keep listening to a recording of the song.
