It uses standard letters from the regular alphabet, though not all of them. It also sometimes has what are known as fadas on the vowels like this:

á é í ó ú.

Some combinations of letters would not appear in any English words, and many things are pronounced differently that they would if you were reading them like English. For example:

"Beidh"

This is pronounced as Bay or Beg, depending on what way it is spoken. Different regions have different pronunciations for the same words.

"Gheobhaidh"

This is pronounced "Gyo wig"

You will also find some writing in very old styles of lettering, but this would be true of English too. There are Gaelic fonts available on the internet, which you will find if you do a search for them.
