Here’s my standard copy/paste:
LearnGaelic.scot has a lot of good resources including a dictionary with IPA and sound files and a good free beginner's course.
BBC Radio nan Gàidheal do weekly programme for learners called Beag air Bheag which is available on iPlayer or as a podcast from iTunes etc. Most of it will be beyond you as an absolute beginner, however they do a section at the start of each episode for beginners called Blasad Beag, and to date have compiled four downloadable beginner's specials which will be helpful if you're just starting:
Also well worth watching is Speaking Our Language, a dated but still good learner's TV programme (pretty much all episodes on Youtube there). There is also a version (without the presenter but with notes and transcriptions, so possibly better) available on LearnGaelic here.
If you want to spend money, the best learner's books imo are:
And if you want to get serious, have a look at An Cùrsa Inntrigidh at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig.
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.
Here are some from Jess Nevins's Fantastic, Mysterious, and Adventurous Victoriana web site. See also his Encyclopedia of Fantastic Victoriana

Some months back, people recommended Bescherelle. I got one, and am happy with it. This thing is so widely used, it has become a common name for these sorts of things.
What keeps you from trying these things on your own?
Do you live in Canada? Mountain Equipment Co-op offers basic maintenance classes. Drop in, pay a couple of bucks (or sometimes for free), and learn about tire repair one day, brake adjustment the next, etc. Similar stores in other countries, as well as some bike shops, offer brief workshops or full courses.
Or you can just try to learn by doing. Pick a YouTube video and follow it to get hands-on experience. Once you've done a repair four or five times it becomes second nature, no longer something mysterious and daunting. And they say that once you do something seven times it becomes part of your knowledge for life.
You can also follow a book on basic bicycle repair, doing the repairs chapter by chapter.
If you have a friend with knowledge and a bike repair stand, go get your hands on your bike and start doing adjustments and mock repairs.
It's not a bad idea to have a small guide with you, since you will likely forget some (or all) steps. But it's still important to familiarize yourself with the parts and procedures before you go out, as you might not want to spend hours learning how to do a repair for the first time while in a torrential downpour, or as night falls, with a gajillion mosquitoes biting you.
Some guides are available as apps or downloads for a smartphone, but these entail extra complications like making sure you don't run out of battery charge, and keeping your phone from getting all greasy, etc.
If you are not self-sufficient when doing an activity like solo touring, which requires a level of self-sufficiency, you are inviting trouble. Trouble may just become the next adventure (e.g. having to camp out for two days in Alberta or walk 30 miles in Manitoba, or being more vulnerable to obnoxious or dangerous people, all because you can't repair your bike in good time)... if that's what you're into.
Apparently Vadanyaya of Dharmakirti (a 7th century Indian philosopher): the Logic of Debate, looks at the issue of whether one can make an argument for the non-existence of something, sometimes called 'proving a negative': apparently the answer is yes - http://www.amazon.com/Vadanyaya-Dharmakirti-Debate-Bibliotheca-Indo-Buddhica/dp/817030380X

I will be using it when I begin looking for an agent as well.
Hi xbrightcursivex! I'm a native Spanish speaker.
The grammar that I usually use is http://www.amazon.com/Larousse-Gramatica-Lengua-Espanola-Ejercicios/dp/970220058X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427218026&sr=8-1&keywords=Gram%C3%A1tica+lengua+espa%C3%B1ola%2C+Larousse%2C+Irma+Mungu%C3%ADa+Zatarain.
If you just want "pure" vocabulary, use http://www.amazon.com/Frequency-Dictionary-Spanish-Vocabulary-Dictionaries/dp/0415334292/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427218069&sr=8-1&keywords=routledge+vocabulary+spanish
But my recommendation is that if you already have a good knowledge, start reading outloud. Check http://www.epublibre.org/ for a huge collection of ebooks in Spanish.
For contemporary readings, check: https://www.goodreads.com/genres/spanish-literature
For classics, check http://lecturasindispensables.blogspot.com.ar/2013/09/mejores-novelas-literatura-hispanoamericana.html

Well, it's hard to really say that there are any rules in English, as we technically lack an authority to say what is right.
However, Oxford has a usage guide for both American English and British English. [In my opinion, Oxford/the OED are the closest English has to an authority].
Garner's American and British guides are also well-regarded.
Part of the problem with learning Gaelic verbs is (a) the tenses and usage don't quite line up with English and (b) the commonest verbs are irregular.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Essential-Gaelic-Dictionary-Teach-Yourself/dp/1444103997
This dictionary is good in its own right and even better, has some very handy appendices on verbs, including all the irregular verbs.

There is ALOT of material here https://www.coursera.org/browse/math-and-logic?languages=en however a good amount of it will require prerequisite knowledge. You may be interested in picking up this text as well, https://www.amazon.com/Dictionary-Mathematics-Barrons-Professional-Guides/dp/0764141392 (you can find it cheaper outside of Amazon.)
You can go with this writing bible. A lot of professional writers use this as their main stop for finding work.
Buy one of these, start doing your research, keep at it, and settle in for the long game. Continue to write and improve. Repeat as long as possible.

Perhaps this is useful to you and other parents looking for international schools in Japan - Guide to International Schools in Japan.
You need to get yourself a copy of the Bescherelle. This is the book that French students use in school, and is the authoritative book on verb conjugation. http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Conjugating-French-English/dp/2218065916/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452133016&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=french+verb+conguation
The bad news is that French verb conjugation is very difficult. The good news is, once it "clicks" and you get it, you'll really be able to express yourself in the French language. Verb conjugation is in my opinion the primary key to the language.
The Bescherelle helps with this because it breaks verbs down into categories, based on verbs that are conjugated similarly, ir verbs, er verbs, irregular verbs etc. There's a pattern to be recognized, once you see it and get it, then it all falls into place.
So rather than try and address specific questions in your post, I'd recommend getting this and learning to recognize those patterns.
Years ago I taught first year and second year French at University as a grad student, and I broke with department rules and demanded that my students get that book. I was severely scolded for doing so, as my plan broke away from the standard course taught by other teachers, but at the end of my first year teaching, my students did consistently better than all the other classes, and even students that went on to study under other teachers said that they felt they had a better grasp on the patterns of language than other students.

I'm sure you can find a few candidates in there.
Dhamma/Dharma has a number of meanings (in fact its definition takes up four pages in thd PED, an oversized and finely printed book) I don't think that "purpose" is one of them. The TLDR definition basically comes down to doctrine, right, or righteousness, condition, phenomenon.
When I went for refuge in the triple gem my purpose became to make an end to suffering, if not in this lifetime then the next or some future lifetime and to hopefully guide others to the path along the way.
These things were a great buy, it’s also a fold out ruler which is equally as useful as the knot guide
Fisherman's Ultimate Knot Guide https://www.amazon.com/dp/0922273030/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_f97ZCbXRDWKYG
I was considering buying this other one which is 12 knots vs 10 and intended for saltwater specifically, but it doesn’t have the ruler
Saltwater Fishing Knot Cards https://www.amazon.com/dp/0922273235/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_m-7ZCbZA8YFF9
Before I offer up some suggestions, take a moment to write down specific examples of dishes you haven't created over the past 6 months or year for lack of suitable blender. Think hard. What have you actually not cooked because you didn't have just the right blender or mixer?
My point is that if you are having to ask what is best for what, that's one good sign that maybe you don't yet have need of much else. Maybe you do, maybe you don't, but acquisition of that newest, latest gadget really is unlikely to unlock different dimensions of cooking for you.
So, if you've read this far, I'll offer a couple of printed resources that because they are printed are rather obsolete, but are still worthy of consideration as you try to sort out kitchen paraphernalia.
Alton Brown's Gear for Your Kitchen and The New Cooks' Catalogue both available used for cheap. I'm away from them at the moment and don't know if these dated books directly address the q, but they certainly would get you started in laying the foundational knowledge for what is used for what.
You could always try and old fashion book. As an undergrad I liked this book. But since you are interested in topology & real analysis you may need a more comprehensive book
It is the Linux Core Kernel Commentary.
Found it on the shelf in my schools lab and decided to give it some attention. Pretty interesting so far.
Reminds me of these:

Sears, Roebuck and Co. Catalog Number 136, 1918 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NTY7631/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_xG-LDbHT8CZ87
No problem. You can find that information in this book
I'd also suggest picking up a copy of Writer's Market 2017. It's a great guide to different markets, publications within those markets (including trade journals!), and what each outlet looks for from freelancers.
I'm also a huge fan of The Essential Guide to Freelance Writing, which offers tips for crafting pitches, finding the appropriate outlets, and contacting the right person at each place. It's really approachable, and the author offers some quality "real world" expertise.
Thanks a lot this was helpful! Is this the kind of book you own? https://www.amazon.com/Writers-Market-2017-Trusted-Published/dp/1440347735
I like it, personally.
