Tá mé ocht inniu, arsa an tOchtapas Is tá mo chairde ag teacht le haghaidh tae Is breá liom bheith ocht, arsa an tOchtapas, Beidh an chóisir againn ar a sé.
Tá mé ocht inniu, arsa an tOchtapas Is tá mo chairde ag teacht le haghaidh tae, Is breá liom bheith ocht, arsa an tOchtapas, Ba sheachtapas mé inné!

I think this is a wonderful initiative - let’s all show a little bród!
Ceapaim go bhfuil Bernard Dunne go hiontach. Tá mé ag déanamh iarracht níos mó Gaeilge a bheith ag caint timpeall an teach leis na buachaillí. Más é do thoil é, tabhair spreagadh do do theaghlach agus do do chairde...

Good sport Kenny is spreading the word about... →
TAOISEACH Enda Kenny yesterday spread the word that the Irish language is alive and well at the launch of Seachtain na Gaeilge 2012.
He showed off his hurling skills to Noinin Ni Mhurchu (5), from Scoil Bharra in Cabra, to mark the start of the two-week festival.
Running up to and including St Patrick’s Day, the festival aims to promote our national tongue at home and abroad.
Now in its...

A little something for day one of Seachtain na Gaeilge, since I’m running behind on the post on pronunciation I meant to do. This is the website I’m using to learn Gaeilge. It has awesome resources not only on the website, but also for events in various places around the world (none near me, unfortunately). But if you’re looking for a place to start learning, this has come in...
