Welsh won't die because the Welsh Assembly won't let it. Similarly with Irish. Scots Gaelic hasn't been spoken outside of the Western Isles for quite a long time, and even there it has fallen away.
Other than "Hello, how are you?", "I'm well, thanks", and numbers up to ten, I know no Gaelic. I would whole-heartedly recommend watching a children's programme called "Dot-a-Man" if you can, probably on YouTube. That was a staple of any Scottish childhood.
