Welcome, Mia!

If you are interested in the language and culture of the ancient
Germanic tribe of the Goths, try Mat Carver's Gotish tongue website
(http://www.matthewcarver.com/gutrazda/), where you'll find also a lot
of useful links, and David Salo's Gothic lessons
(http://www.terracom.net/~dorothea/david/gothic/).
You will find interesting discussions also on this list.
Good luck!

Francisc
