Dia duit a Lauren! Conas atá tú? (another way of saying 'how are you') Don't know if it's against the rules to suggest some other sites for learning as well, but I don't think so?

Dia duit a Deb, I've learnt "ligim mo scíth" for "I relax" so maybe it could be "táim ag ligean mo scíth" to make it "I'm relaxing"? Slán, Tora

Hi Deb, I think it might be that prepositions don't always translate directly. For example, "in the evening" is "um tráthnóna" while "in school" is "sa scoil" (I think). I'll ask my teacher tonight in class and see what he says and come back to you, ok? Slán, Tora
