  I thought that perhaps both Slavic and Celtic languages form branches of the Indo-European family, and it seems that the geographic range of speakers of precursors of these languages overlapped in iron-age Europe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Slavic_borrowings#Slavic_and_Celtic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Slavic_borrowings#Slavic...

  As a native Slavic speaker who tried to learn Gaelic I can assure you that similarities in terms of vocabulary or grammar are few and superficial. That said, pronunciation is much easier for us than native English speakers.

    There are plenty if you know how to look for them, though some, such as grammaticalised palatalisation, are incidental, and others, such as the preservation of the habitual are more obvious. That said, the various Celtic languages are thought to have more historically in common with the Italic branch of languages (the remaining instances of that being the various Romance languages) than they do with the Slavic ones.
