I know what you mean about "conquering"! But after a while, by writing or typing lists of vocabularly, my brain sort of went to autopilot and suddenly the words I was writing no longer had meaning to them. x__x Now, as a warm up, I write or type lines of sentences in which both new and old words fit, which is a pretty common exercise, I think

Right click on their link, then click on "Save as..." or "Download as..." ;) Edited : Haha, whoops -- Unless you mean the free Buntus Cainte lesson (since this is the Buntús Cainte section). I don't think you can download the vocabulary from that lesson (from what I remember), but you can always take notes of them like

I don't think it's "reliance" on audio samples as much as "use". Hearing it as much as possible is going to help and improve your pronunciation and recognition, not debilitate your efforts. But it seems you clearly have a plan as to where you want to go with your studies.

I think you are jumping the gun a bit. I read one of your previous posts and I see that you've only been studying for a week, correct? I think by trying to read before you've barely begun is not going to go well as far as progress is concerned. Have you explored much of this site yet? You should really play the games and get the hang of seeing

That one has weird results, doesn't it? Google translates it as "crazy", but Irishionary.com says it's "angry". Maybe it can be interchangeable like the English "mad"? I guess we'll just have to wait for confirmation from Seano or someone. =/

Like you said, there are dozens of other threads like this on the forum, so why didn't you contribute to one of those threads? I suggest contributing to this one instead of starting another thread on the same subject (however, what's done is done); you can still talk about your speaking level and ideas there. There are endless amounts of threads

[quote user="Dale D"]We should have a forum or thread where people could list what area/region they are in and could then find practice partners for using their Irish. I'm in California, Sacramento area. Anyone happen to be close by? Dale D. [/quote] That's a good idea! There's a new thread that someone just started right here

[quote user="Dale D"] I tried the Ctrl+Alt+letter and it didn't work for me. There must be something to the post where someone said the keyboard needs to be set up for Irish. I guess I'll have to stick with the Alt+keypad for now.... Dale D. [/quote] I have links to instructions for setting up the language bar on Windows XP, Vista

[quote user="robert1campbell@yahoo.co.uk"] Alt + Control and letter you want to put the fada on. Simple. á-Á is alt +control + capitals. Just in one click. Roibeárd [/quote] That's exactly the method I use, too. So easy and quick! Though, for foreigners like myself, one must set up the language bar on their task bar

I really don't think so. The word "agat" literally means "at you". It's a fusion of "ag" (at) and "tú" (you). "Agat" is used way beyond just the phrase " go raibh maith agat "; like how the Japanese word gozaimasu is used beyond just " arigatou gozaimasu ". I really
