Dia dhuit,
If you're thinking of going to Wicklow, there's Glendalough and the Wicklow Way that are well worth seeing.

Halo a chairde, ta se an deas bualadh libh
Lig dom fein a chur in aithne, Is mise Pol, Is as gContae Laois dom(sa), Taim anseo I bParas as an Frainc mar sin nil me abalta a deanamh fadas ar (keyboard azerty) and I'd better switch to english as my Irish is still very basic,
Really happy to find this resource online , maithu Breandan agus co.
I just had a quick question also
a friend wants to know how to say "Winter is coming" (from Tv show Game of throne)
I know from the song sé do bheatha 'bhaile how to say now that Spring is coming which is
"Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh"
so I'm wondering is "Ta an geimhreadh ag teacht" correct or can "Ta Geimhreadh ag teacht" work by itself

Go raibh mil mhaith agat

Fáilte, a Phóil

I think you need "an Geimhreadh" (the winter) rather than "Geimhreadh" (a winter). I've always heard seasons being given with the article: an tEarrach, an Samhradh, an Fómhar, an Geimhreadh.

Fáilte romhat isteach, a Phóil. Chuaigh mé go seisiún sa phub "Quite Man" i bPáras (sa Fhrainc) fadó fadó. An-chraic ar fad le "Owen", ach níl mé cinnte an bhfuil an pub sin ann fós nó nach bhfuil.

I agree with Mick, Tá an geimhreadh ag teacht with the article is better.

Breandán ,Tá an quiet man ann fós, bfheidir lá amhain rachaidh mé ann ach tá bron orm, Ní fearr liom an ceol Eireannach

This is it exactly: without the article, it means ‘a winter’.

You could say, for example, tá geimhreadh crua ag teacht ‘a cruel winter is coming’ … sounds a bit like something Gandalf would say, doesn’t it?

Ní maith leat ceol na hÉireann? Tuigim ach ní thuigim. Sin é a rá, tuigim céard atá á rá agat ach ni thuigim cén fáth nach maith leat é. Ó bhuel, ní lia duine ná barúil.

gabh mo leithscéal , tá "Ni fearr liom" ro-dheacair/laidir?, Is mhaith liom Liam Kelly/Pogues agus rudaí mar sin ach i gcoitinne ni mhaith liom an "trad" mar a déirteír. Nuair a bhí me óg in Eireann bhí a lan ceol traidisiúnta ar en téléfís agus an radio agus tá mo sháith agam den ceol seo
níl dochar ar bith déanta!

excuse me, I don't prefer is too strong, I like Liam Kelly/pogues etc. but in general I don't like "Trad" as we say (in english ) When I was young in Ireland there was a lot of music on the tv and radio and I've had enough of that type of music
No hard feelings!

sorry have to switch back to English and my apologies for my awful Irish, it is very simple/anglo, my problem with Irish is often the syntax, I'm not able to express myself properly, I have been speaking French these last 10 years seem to have lost any notions of Irish I had,
I wanted to say that I had no problems with trad but that it wasn't my cup of tea, Not to say that I can't enjoy a good session, but unless I really concentrate it just sounds ,to me like the diddly diddle stuff I've heard on and off for years, that being said I really don't know enough it to be criticising it anyway

P.s I won't be able to help anyone as Gaelige for the foreseeable future however if anyway has any queries as francaigh they can throw them my way
slán go foíll

Hi All! My name is Marla and I know very little of the actual language. When it comes to other cultures, I am a powerhouse! LOL! I have wanted to learn Irish/Scots Gaelic for a long time. I have a huge dream of delving into Celic and Welsh as well. Good thing I have years to learn and it sounds like lots of friendly help!
In Peace,
M.

Tá fáilte romhat Marlita,
Tá ceart agat, Ní leor teanga amháin,
