[blackroseivy]

O GAWD yes!! I understand a smattering or two here or there, but I can't follow it!!!

Ag amharc tri m''oige,
Is m'e 'bh'i s'amh,
Gan eolas margh
Bh`i m`e `og gan am,

Anois, t`aim buarth,
's fad ar sh`uil an l`a
Och`on 's och`on `o.

Na laetha geal m'oige
Bh`i siad l`an de dh`ochas
An bealach m`or a bh`i romham anonn
Bhi s`e i nd`an domh go mb`ein, sl`an, sl`an.
Anois, t`aim buartha,
's fad ar shi`uil an l`a.
Och`on 's och`on `o.

Anois, t`aim buartha,
's fad ar si`uil an l`a.
Och`on is och`on `o.

Na laetha geal m'`oige
Bh`i siad l`an de dh`ochas
An bealach m`or a bhe romham anonn
Bh`i s`e i nd`an domh go mb`einn, sl`an, sl`an.

Anois, t`aim buartha,
's fad' ar shi`uil an l'`.
Och`on 's och`on o.

[Aestolia]

I sooo need to learn Gaelic as well... I love the sound of it....

My roommate says it sounds like a bunch of people spitting... but he's uncultured!

[GalenaFaolan]

I love Gaelic! It's beautiful to me and just hearing it makes me homesick. Funny thing is I've never been to Ireland!! :foh:
I did have 2 books and tapes to go with one of the books, but sthe stupid hurricanes.....well they're gone now. I've found places online to learn from. They're ok, sometimes I can't hear them that well though.

nonsense, that's what arabic sounds like!

irish sounds awesome!

[whitewater]

i personally think it would be freakin awesome to actually go to Trinity College in Dublin and learn Gaelic there...they have classes for internationals...

of course, when i suggested that to my parents, they just sort of laughed at me...ah, well... :whatmewor

don't take laughter for an answer! start saving up now!

[whitewater]

maybe i'll just go there for a year on foreign exchange...that would be good compromise. i looked on their website, and their theatre program looks good.

did you know that they have the freakin BOOK OF KELLS in their library?!?!?!?!?!!! *slight spazz*

yeah, i paid the 8 euros ($12 us) to see it, and they don't even let you turn the pages!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it was still cool, though.

[Stoirmeacha]

Ta! An bhfuil Bearla agat?:hehehehe:

[Solya]

Amazing language... would definitely like to learn more. :smile: I can understand a few minor things, but not enough to be able to save my life with yet. :lol:

[Stoirmeacha]

Haha! Funny...there are actually a number of online classes you could take, with audio, of course. I have looked at a couple, but I like having a teacher better.

[Gwyddyon]

An bhfuil aon duine in ann gaeilge a thuiscint, anseo?

Ta. Is mac leinn me. Ta me i mo chonai i Naoimh Pol, 's ta fiche no triocha "scolaire" anseo. Gaeltacht Minnesota is ainm duinn. Is maith liom an canuint Chois Fharraige, ach ta cupla Donegal agus cupla Mumhan linn (and I'm pretty sure that last clause was grammatically atrocious, that's what I get for skipping class like I'm doing tonight!).

[Gwyddyon]

"Yes. I'm a student. I live in St. Paul, and there are twenty or thirty "students/scholars" here. We call ourselves Gaeltacht Minnesota. I like Cois Fharraige's dialect, but there are of couple of Donegal and a couple of Munster speakers with us."
