Learn Irish Gaelic

It should be easy to learn Irsh in Ireland, but its not. Probably should go to Russia.

University class starts in 3 weeks! :)

I contacted Rosetta Stone, a company that makes interactive language DVDs/CDs, a while ago about having Irish as one of their languages. They promised to tell me when a course was created for it…a year or so later, and it’s done! If you’re interested, google rosetta stone. It’s expensive, but there’s a cheaper on-line version, but it’s time sensitive. I’m getting it to entertain me over the summer!

I don’t know how long I’ve been crazy about Ireland, its language, its music and its history. Hopefully I’ll get to be fluent in Gaelic and that this will allow me to appreciate Ireland even more.

I would love to learn Gaelic soo badly! Both my parents grew up speaking it, but my Mum has told me to figure it out myself!

Slainte! (Greetings and good health to you)

I’m from Dublin, the capital of Ireland, and I speak Irish. My first language is English, which is a far more useful language, but I also speak Irish. Irish is important for students taking part in state examinations (as it’s tested as a subject) and is also in our education system. It’s also important if you are in the Government or a member of the Gardai (Police Force).

I am not fluent in Irish by any means, and I am still trying to get my head around it all, but it’s an unusual language!

Go raibh maith agat! (Thanks very much)

PS. There are no accents on these characters, as the 43Things system cannot accept them.

Being almost half Irish, I do want to know more about my ancestry…even though my matriarchs and patriarchs have been in the United States for over a couple hundred years.

I’d love to be able to visit the Gaelic villages and be able to communicate. Ireland is such a beautiful country, I could spend many months there and be quite happy.

My stretch to find my heritage started in an odd point. I was listening to the Cocteau Twins, wondering what she was singing and in what language and I willy-nilly decided that it must be Gaelic. I wasn’t aware at the time as most weren’t that she was just singing somewhat gibberish English, but it started me down the road to finding out more about Gaelic, Irish Gaelic and the Irish side of my family, the O’Cearnaighs. Its odd what triggers these things in life.
