Bríd's Focal an Lae on Memrise

RobertKaucher · **Joined:** Thu 26 Dec 2013 3:21 pm **Posts:** 155

I just wanted to let the forum know that with Bríd's permission I have started transforming her Focal an Lae thread into a course on Memrise that includes her sound files.

Part one is complete and contains the first 3 pages of Bríd's contributions (roughly 40 words).

If you notice any errors, please feel free to contact me by posting on the course's forum on Memrise (you'll find a link on the course's page) or here. I hope you all find it very useful!

Wow this is great Robert and Bríd! :good:

I tried it myself, just to let you know it considers Réamhrá as incorrect for réamhrá, maybe there is a way to get it to ignore capitals?

Thank you Robert, that looks great. :GRMA:

Just a suggestion - I'd leave the more obscure words out of it like Bréidín and Báinín, as they are not much used today. But that's totally up to you and what you think.

I wonder who that Cailleach na nGadhair is...

Go raibh maith agat. I had set it to strict when testing. That should be acceptable now.

I was already considering creating lessons with different themes like "Word that sound similar" and "Animals" so maybe I will make an "Advanced" level and move those into it. For the extra levels I will probably pull from you Forvo contributions as well.

With all this fame, soon Bríd will leave us all and will only want to hang out with the cool kids! :mrgreen:

Thanks for this Robert and Bríd. I have been using this today and its really good for building vocabulary and good fun as well.

Keep up the good work!

Go raibh maith agat, a Sheáin. Nuashonróidh mé an cúrsa le cupla leibhéal eile go gairid!

Ar fheabhas! Táim ag tháth leis.
