Dia dhaoibh!
Is é Seachtain na Gaeilge anois agus smaoinigh mé ar feadh noiméad ar rud simiúla - fógra a chur anseo i nGaeilge agus cuireadh a chur chugaibh an Gaeilge a labhairt don seachtain sin!
Bain triail as, a chairde, ach uair amháin beag. Muintir na hEireann agus na deonacha thar lear, úsáid do theanga dhúchais seachas teanga an namhad (Béarla :))
B'fhéidir go meadh botún uaireanta ach níl Gaeilge líofa agam agus chun an fhirinne a rá, ní úsáidim an Gaeilge go rialta ach an oiread.

>caoineadh as Gaeilge
:)))) daoine Cheiltigh le chéile!
Cymru am byth!
fuck, just started learning, right now all I really know is that women are lentil beans and men are full of fear. Any advice on how to immerse myself in the language? it's very difficult to find speakers, and knowing people or media that uses it casually is a great way to help learn.

why does Cornwall has such an A E S T H E T I C flag
not as cool as our Breizh flag :p
that's not english aka god's language, mate
Sadly even though I live in Ireland it is hard to immerse myself in it.
Best thing you can do is see if there sre any Irish speaking forums you can join online, perhaps read a textbook for the Junior Cert and then the Leaving Cert, and use sites like Wikipedia in Irish if possible
Conas a bhí do lá?
don't you have radio/television channels broadcasting in Irish ? Here in brezhoneg we have some TV channels and a lot of radio using only brezhoneg
mort aux bretons et à la pêche au thon
I suppose in these fields the internet is my best friend. Thanks. ya think there are Irish servers for games and shit? probably somewhere...
perhaps not yet, but some should be made...

Yeah. RTÉ Raidio na Gaeltachta and TG4
Please see above, cannot believe I didn't mention that to you! You can get the radio online on the website of the station or on one of those apps. TG4 is the Irish language station but it's kinda boring and probably not available outside Ireland. Do look up the website though. There may be a few small game sites but I'm not familiar with them at all. Maybe Facebook groups but let's be real, Facebook is crap. You can use it in Irish though. Check out Cumann na nGaeilge's website too, might be handy for learning grammar and other things. Use focloir.ie, never google translate! Or teanglann.ie, and if you get this far, tearma.ie for more professional terms.
That's all i can think of. Duolingo is shit for Irish too, especially when you get into those prepositions and tuiseal gineadach... Enjoy!
Bhuel, bhain tú triail as... Go maith
Tuigim an Fraincís freisin!
Eh. Bhí argóint mór idir mé féin agus mo theaglach faoin debs (i ndairíre...) mar ní mhaith liom dul ansin. Ach tá gach rud go maith anois, bhuel, ceapaim. Nuair a dúirt mé le mo dhaid go mbeidh an debs i gContae Muineacháin, cheap sé nach maith smaoinimh maith é dul ansin.
Anois, tá cupán tae agam.
Conas atá tú?
>Bhí argóint mór idir mé féin agus mo theaglach faoin debs (i ndairíre...) mar ní mhaith liom dul ansin.
ní raibh cúram ar mo thuismitheoirí má d'fhan mé sa bhaile ó na debs
>Ach tá gach rud go maith anois, bhuel, ceapaim
is maith a chloisteáil.
>Nuair a dúirt mé le mo dhaid go mbeidh an debs i gContae Muineacháin, cheap sé nach maith smaoinimh maith é dul ansin.
An bhfuil cónaí ort i bhfad ó Mhuineacháin?
>Conas atá tú?
Tá mé go maith. Táim ag dul a chodladh go luath toisc go gcaithfidh mé a bheith ar bun go luath amárach. Is breá loim mura freagraim

Beidh mé ag dul a choladh go luath freisin, mar tá orm staidéar don Árdteist....yay

hello ÉireAnon(s)! I'm learning Gaeilge (Connacht Dialect), what would you advise me do to further my learning?
found the american.
English motherfucker do you speak it.
Firstly I'll preface this by saying our education system is useless for teaching Irish, so we're not the best for learning it and worse still at using it. Regardless, I have given advice above:
I hope this helps!
You're definitely making the right decision using Connacht dialect, it's pretty much what I consider to be true Irish and is more straightforward too, even though the canúints don't have that much difference.
Go n-éirí an t-ádh leat!
Sea, ach táim ag labhairt Gaeilge anois.
Tá brón orm faoi d'easpa cultúr i Mheiriceá ach, níl neart air anois!!
Dia dhaoibh ar maidin
Conas atá tú?
Sorry, I don't speak potato famine
Gabh mo leithscéal, ní labhraím foréigin gunna
Duolingo teaches Connacht Dialect so I'm using that lol, I find it to be good desu
Got anymore resources besides those ya mentioned?
>Go n-éirí an t-ádh leat
Go raibh maith agat
Duolingo shouldn't be used for grammar rules outside of verb tenses, i found a site for you - daltai.com, that should be a good resource.
The only dictionary I use is focloir.ie, never google translate! It's terrible, even more so than for other languages.
gutenberg.org
The above are old Irish books. Not sure how good they are but anyways.
Raidío na Gaeltachta is a bit backward and I'm not sure if there's much appeal to it.
scoilnet.ie
Those are pdf notes from Scoilnet.ie
If you need to, check it out for Secondary Level material, it'd be useful.
What I have mentioned before I still recommend and it's probably the best stuff.
Bain taitneamh as!
Thanks again, mate! Duo is good but I use somethin else to study grammar, and hey, it's free so why not
I'll buy somethin from Daltai when I get the dough to do so lol

Think there's free stuff on Daltaí and if you do need to pay - feck it, don't bother, there's ten other sources of the exact same stuff for free somewhere else. It really is not speacial at all, notes and resources. I'd only really recommend it for grammar.
So long as Duo isn't what you use for grammar by all means go ahead with it. I use it for Spanish and I can now speak it well with natives.
Fun fact: more people learn Irish on Duo than can speak it here, and there are well over 20x the learners on Duo than there are native speakers. It's become such a revolution for the language that our president (little old leprechaun dude that meets people and signs things) has recognised it as a special preserver of the language. Buíochas le Duo! (pun intended)
I'm glad Americans are learning it, instead of being that person who claims they're in anyway Irish when they aren't at all (a guy in NYC told me randomly he was 5/47ths Irish, no lie...)
Éire go bráth!
does gaulish count as celtic
Well by the looks of it it's long extinct. But otherwise, yes, it's Celtic

How do you pronounce Irish?
scoilgaeilge.org
Oh, it's a lot of practice. Basically if there's a 'h' after the consonant at the start, you soften the sound or just don't pronounce it.
There's a lot to take in but it comes naturally after reading and listening for a while.
Oíche mhaith do gach duine!
Má tá aon ceist agat maidir le cúrsaí Gaeilge, cuir é faoi, agus freagróidh mé é amárach.

Goodnight everyone!
If you have any questions about Irish and matters concerning it, ask below, and I'll answer tomorrow.
(In Irish if you are able to use it)
Yeah, there's a growing demand for learning Irish (specially in the States, as some ppl wanna connect with their ancestors who were Irish who came here during the Blight, and spoke Irish as their first language), and though I have some Irish in me, I think it's so far back that it doesn't even matter desu, so to me it's just there
I'm thinking of visiting the Gaeltachtaí in Connacht one day when I get the money (though an Aer Lingus flight to Dublin is $453 at the lowest with the special sale and such)
I'm always looking for more opinions and resources on the language. I recently started using duolingo and it looks like this thread is not entirely in support of it, but I don't know enough to tell why. Also, Of the dialects, which is the most practical to learn?
Just here to Croat post
fucking wot
Nah, I do support Duo, it's great for vocab and verb tenses but my goodness, not for other grammar rules. So learn those from other sources, I have them listed above. I also have other resources listed above that I think may work. The only person really "not in support" is myself but I actually think Duo is a great resource.
Learn the Connacht dialect (Duo teaches this) as it's the most common one and the one everyone understands. The other dialects you will understand regardless of whether you've learnt it as it's just a difference of accent and little colloquialisms.
Ah yeah, there's more Irish people in America than here!
The flights aren't cheap but at least you know where to go. Conamara is the best place, really authentic and great people too! Otherwise Gaoth Dobhair is a scenic place and the Irish isn't all too different up there, even though it's in Ulster.
I think Icelandic Airlines or some of those are doing cheap flights to London, so you could always go from there to Dublin for less than €20 with Ryanair.
Also, important: during the summer thousands of Irish students flock to the Gaeltacht areas to study over the summer for exams. B&Bs and hostels just will not be an option during the summer time. Also you can look into staying on an island, it's not usually as full.
Oh and there's not a hell of a lot to do there other than chat, walk and go to the pub, and dances (céilí) in the evening. Galway is a lovely city, not too far away.
I'm sure you'll find all of that out anyway.
Tá súil agam go mbeadh thuras maith agat in Éirinn!
