Irish and English Words

If you were speaking Irish, would you be able to tell?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Irish_origin


The site listed above is a fun way of finding out how many Irish words you knew already, because they are found in the English language, to begin with, and admitting that you were using them all along in public would be the surprising thing.

Enjoy learning English and Irish both!

Beo!

Do not forget to review words at this site. http://www.beo.ie Choose a few recurring words. Example: an, agus See where they are placed in phrases or sentences. Review meanings if you haven't done it for some time. Choose your favourite articles or nouns and practice saying them aloud. Refer to the pronunciation guides online or in your books. http://www.mustrad.org.uk/reviews/irish.htm This particular one is from this site: Magazine for Traditional Music Throughout the World http://www.mustrad.org.uk/index.htm Happy reviewing and studying of Irish!

Pronouns

Pronouns: Site: http://www.irishgaelictranslator.com/wombat/lessons/pronouns Site: http://mylanguages.org/irish_pronouns.php Practicing words and phrases: Auditory Site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR3ZgK5Xu64&feature=related Wikipedia has a brief history of Indo European languages, including Irish.

Understanding Accents

One must also have a ear for the alphabet as it resounds in words.

The tongue is a very tricky instrument and must be trained to touch the
right part of the palate.

Celtics have the hang of this, as do the Spanish with that rolling "r" in time.
Some of us still say 'tree' for three, by the way.

So, that is a good sign, at least, for this present season.

St Patrick's Day 2011

Lá Fhéile Pádraig (pronounced, "law ale a Fadrig")


Hallo to Irish language learners!


How goes the self - study process?

I hope you are moving along carefully and slowly.

In this way, you will circumvent any problems you have in returning
again to relearn or review material.

Keep your pace and never rush the process of learning.

Enjoy the work toward the learning and knowledge of a most excellent
language in time!

This also prevent errors in the future and enough time to correct errors.

The Irish prefer to be careful and meticulous and do their work with
pride and eagerness.

Keep the pace in time and in season alway!

Never be tempted to rush any learning. Leave time for study or for tests and
such, if ye be in schooling at present.


In this way, may no true Irish ever be supplanted by duplicators or impersonators
in time!

God bless.
