Dia dhaoibh. Séamus ata orm. Tá beagnach Gaeilge agam. Tús mé ag foghlaim le trí bliana ó shin ach tá mé ag foghlaim fós. Tá foghlaim liom fhéin le leabhair agus cd's. Ba mhaith liom go cleachtadh ag caint le daoine eile. Slán go foill.

-Séamus Darcey

call me Zekra,
I am an American that has stumbled upon the beautiful language of the Irish. I am studying to be a druid through "Arn Draiocht Fein," and will require some training of literacy, so that I may better my liturgical art. I know very little Irish. But I am willing to learn. I am interested in the magical world in "Eire" as much as I am interested in her ancient history.

It has been quite a long time since I have been on a "message board"! I see this one is way easier to use then my ancient counterparts. navigation through here will not be to difficult.

Hi, Zekra. Welcome to ILF.

I've moved your post to this thread. (Hope you can find it again. )

Apologies. I didn't notice the change; I just thought you posted your introduction twice. Note to self: read properly before you decide to tease someone.
