Irish (the language)

[Chickenkeev]

Does anyone else feel a connection to it? My dad was a gaeilgoir but never taught us. But i'm 42 now and still feel a pull towards it. It's inexplicable. I spent a year in france but i feel nothing at all towards the language. But Irish draws me in massively.

Tá an ceart agat - aointím leat go hiomlán! Is cuimhin liom Bertie agus é ag léamh the phonetic form of his oath. How embarrassing. Tá Gaeilge deas soléir ag Catherine Connolly. Or is it just that her diction is so clear? Tuigimse at any rate agus níl morán Gaeilge agam.

Dorchadas go Solas :
Bhíomar ar an siúlóid ar maidin seo agus bhí a lán daoine ann. Le comhartha brónach tá sé díreach bliain amháin ó imeacht cara is fearr mo mhac ar shlí na fhírinne. He was a lovely young guy , duine cineálta . 💔 But how can we get people to share their troubles ? Níl fhios agamsa faraor.

An buachaill bocht @Abhannmor
Is trua liom na daoine fágtha ina dhiaidh 🥲

Ní raibh a mháthair ar an siúlóid @LadyEloise1 mar tá sí ró-bhrónach fós , an créatúirín bocht.

Uafásach 🥲
an uaigneas
an fearg
an brónach.

Tamall fada gan Gaeilge - long time no Irish!
Ar an céad dul síos - Maigh Eo Abú!! - is Blácliathach mise ach credit where credit is due, fair play lads🏆

Tá mé ag athbeochaint an thread seo mar gheall ar clár teilifíse meiriceanach a chonaic mé le déanaí - an teideal atá air ná... Lá Breá😮?!

Well, sin a chap mé ar dtús - i ndairíre, is logainm é, cíallaíonn sé 'clais nó poll tarra' 'Tar pit' i Spáinnis😁

I saw a TV programme on a listing the other day, it was called 'Lá Breá', which is Irish for 'a fine day'..

Only it's La Brea, without the fadas, and La Brea is a placename, it's Spanish for a tar pit!

But every time I see the programme title, I hear 'Lá Breá' in Irish in my head😄

An bhfuil aon duine ag foghlaim Gaeilge an Fomhar seo?
Anyone thinking of doing a course in Irish this autumn?
Or online learning. Any recommendations gratefully accepted. I've never used Zoom apart from socially so any hints about that too!

Gaelchultúr - ar fheabhas.

New Irish language tool to help non-verbal children
A new language tool that allows non-verbal children to communicate in the Irish language is being made freely available online.
The Geabaire app uses the dialects and structures of the Irish language and those behind the technology said it is now a global model for other minority languages.
