There is no “easy” way, but the easiest is to buy a dictionary, and a basic course and work through it until you’re able to follow basic speech. Then follow the BhBC Letter and youtube courses. Then advanced coursework like TAIC or Akerbeltz. Then travel to Nova Scotia or Sabhal Mor Ostaig in Scotland and get immersed.
SG12W is one of the better books (although the title is ridiculous), it's essentially a grammar book with some exercises tacked on. Its quite narrow in that regard, but pretty indispensable too.
The other really good beginners' book imo is Teach Yourself Complete Gaelic (Boyd Robertson), which is much more based on teaching through dialogue / conversation.
Together they make a good pair to get you going imo. I worked through them in parallel for a while, although eventually I drifted away from them before I finished them (I still use SG12W as a grammar reference though).
In each case, make sure you get the CDs (or audio downloads if they do that now).
You could try the 'Little by Little' course on LearnGaelic.net or the lessons on TAIC too.
Also worth checking out is the old 'Speaking our Language' videos on LearnGaelic.
