Hello, I am new to the forum. I have always wanted to learn Gaelic but I could never find lessons where I live. I do have the Book and CD for teach yourself Irish. I thought maybe it would be easier if I had human interaction to confirm what I am learning. Is this something I can do here? I am finding that context is a big part of learning Gaelic is that correct ? Thank You

Yes, people here will be happy to help you as you learn. Some of us are (probably permanent) learners, but there are native speakers and fluent second-language speakers who participate regularly as well.

Hi, dmg. Yes, helping people learn is what we are here for.

Haigh a chairde, is mise Micheál. Is Poncánach agus soaránach dhúbailte mé a bhí I mo chónaí in Éirinn le 6 bliana anuas. D'fhoghlaim mé cuid mhór Gaeilge, agus bhain mé mo GCSEs, ach is tamall an lá ó labhair mé uirthi. Táim ag obair páirtaimseartha sa phub fá láthair san áit a bhuil Gaeilge a úsaid go minic, mar sin de tá orm teacht ar aghaidh arís! Tá súil agam chífidh mé sibh thart timpeall na háite, slán agus beannacht

Hello friends, I'm Michael. I'm a yank&dual citizen living in Ireland for the past 6 years. I learned a good lot of Irish, and got my GCSEs, but it's been a long time since I've spoken it. I'm working part-time in a pub at the moment where Irish is used often, therefore I have to come along again! Hope to see youse around the place, health and blessings.

Go mo leithscéal,

Sorry for the double post. Just got one of these touch pads that I'm still getting used to

Fáilte a Mhicheál! If something is worth saying, it's worth saying twice! S.
