    Re: Fáilte/Welcome

    Dia daóibh,

    I am new to this forum and learning the of my grandparents. i live in the US and how limited resources to personal learning with others who can speak Irish. I have utilized several self-tutoring resurces such as Buntús Cainte and Pimsleur's Irish. Curre ntly using the Rosetta Stone program which I like. The first issue is dealing with the different dialects.

    Anyway glad to be part of the clan and I am willing to learn of any resources that could be of help.

    Slan agus beannacht,

    Searlis

    Fáilte chug Labhair Gaeilge, Searlis.

    I hope you don't mind me saying that I don't think your first issue should be dealing with different dialects. If you know that there's three main dialects Ulster, Munster and Connacht) along with an Caighdeán Oifiguíul (the Official standard) you know everything you need to for now.

    Rosetta Stone covers the Kerry dialect, this site is focussed on the Ulster dialect, but we want to be as inclusive as possible here. Just keep learning what Irish you can, where you can.

    Slán anois,
    Michelle

    Re: Fáilte/Welcome

    Dia duit a Chara agus fáilte!  Take Michelle's advice mo chara and don't get bogged down with dialects. It will drive you crazy!  I know exactly what you mean. Here in the states, if you're lucky enough to come across any Irish language material at all, the first thing it  will say is..BEWARE OF THE DIFFERENT DIALECTS!  Had me scared to death when I first joined Michelle's site. But as you will see, it really just all falls in place once the learning begins.  You have chosen the best place in the world to learn!! Bain sult as! Slán, Deb

    Re: Fáilte/Welcome

    Firstly - Congrats on what looks to be an excellent site.

    Secondly - and ashamedly so I don't have much Irish only a small piece and now my children are in a half Irish / English speaking school and I am not much help to them with regarding to speaking our native tongue. I will along with them be using this site regularly so we can all get up to speed and learn to speak Fluently in Irish, hopefully and be proud of what I should be able to assist my kids with.

    Looking forward to learning from you all......

    Jason.

    Re: Fáilte/Welcome

    Have you used the Pimsleur Irish? Do you know what dialect it is? I used Pimsleur for French, and I think it's a great system and it made it very easy for me to improve my French, but I already spoke a bit of it because my Dad's bilingual. Pimsleurs' French follows the Academie Française, which has protects and sets standards for the French language. I have the Teach Yourself Irish book and 2 CD set, which teaches An Caighdeán Oificiúil, the Official Standard, but the dialogues and examples in the book don't go very far. It's all stuff like introducing yourself, getting a drink and talking about the weather and what to order for dinner. It's like a Berlitz traveller's approach, so since I don't have another book yet, I tend to run out of Gaelic very quickly, within 2 or three sentences, and all of the rest of the stuff in the book deals with grammar and it gets very complex very quickly. I'm hoping that the Pimsleur will be more conversational and allow me to speak more and learn in a more natural way. Here's the problem- My grandmother's from Donegal, so I don't want to learn the Munster dialect, only the Ulaidh like on this site, because that's what my gran and her family spoke when they came here (to the U.S.) from Eire.

    Dia dhuit, wolfréalt anseo as Corcaigh, níl mo gaeilge go maith (go fóill). Tá ngrá agam leis an teanga agus ba mhaith liom níos mó. Tóg go bog é.

    A chairde,

    My name is Phillip and I am new here. I am from the US and I have been studying Irish through Rosetta Stone, I also take online classes through The PhiloCeltic Society. I am still a beginner and I am taking it slowly, I want to make sure I understand it before I move on. I really enjoy learning Irish, and I want to learn more, I just hope my brain can handle it as I am not as young as I used to be.Snail

    Is mise,

    Phillip

    Hi everyone!

    My name is Zach, Im a classicist and language lover studying at Franklin and Marshall College in Pennsylvania, USA. I am half Irish and have always wanted to learn Irish, but never really got around to starting. Now that the summer is upon me, Im going to try and get started, and this place seemed like a great resource. Although I have studied Latin, Ancient Greek, and German, I haven't a lick of Irish, so please be patient! (Im sure you will be Smile)
