My goal this year is to learn enough Irish to start conversation in Dublin when I visit in September for the Notre Dame vs Navy football game and also be able to sing a couple songs in Irish as I play in a traditional Irish folksong band!
Would love to hear how it’s going!
Great suggestions. I also see some TG4 videos on YouTube. I learned some vocabulary by reading/ translating the book, An Mam O Dheas – an autobiography by Muiris (Mossie) O Scanlain who was raised on a farm in the Gaeltacht near Mount Brandon on the Dingle peninsula and later moved to Australia. He co-founded the Australian Irish language association and teaches Irish language classes, many of which use his book as a learning tool.
The book is available at http://www.litriocht.com

Beidh sé mar dhea-rúin na bliana úire agam:
1. Listen to Raidió na Gaeltachta a few times a week
2. Play Scrabble ‘as Gaeilge’ occasionally
3. Use Irish in every day situations, e.g. when counting ‘Reps’ in the Gym
4. Try to read some Irish books
5. Listen to Irish Music while reading through the Lyrics
Bliain úr fé shéan is fé mhaise daoibh!
Gearóid
Go hiontach, maith an fear!
