    How about a word game?

    I got this idea from another site. Everyone can play.

    A person adds a word as Gaeilge include a definition in english.

    If you have enough Irish use your word in a sentence. Anyway

    the next person uses the last letter of the previous persons word

    to start their word, so if my word is

    Foghlaim

    (learn; learning)

    the next word starts with an M, something like

    Madra

    (dog)

    Cros ar mhadraí.

    No dogs. (I hope that's right).

    Next word starts with an A.

    Ádh mór!
