I think it's time for a language revival in the notesfile. What
do you think? It's about two years since we had the Irish lessons
in topic #19.
I've got my hands on two useful books: The Irish Phrase-Book (An
Ra'leabhar Gaeilge) and An Foclo'ir Po'ca (Pocket Dictionary) which
I can recommend both. The latter is published by the Department
of Education and information can be received from:
An Gu'm,
44 Sra'id Ui' Chonaill Uachtarach,
Baile A'tha Cliath 1.
That's 44 O'Connell Street, Dublin 1.
The phrase book is published by the Mercier Press and ISBN number
is 0 85342 752 6.
Please note that I am still using a Vt100 so I will have to add
the "fada" after the vowel. e.g.
/
po'ca instead of poca
I may get a fancy terminal like Joe Farrell has in the near future!
Finally, what I intend doing here is a follow-on from the lessons
in #19. Beginners (that means you keVin!) should go through the
lessons and pronunciation in #19 prior to trying the phrases etc.
that I intend putting in here.
As usual, this will be added to by me when I have the time available.
I would welcome anyone else out there who would like to help.

From the flyleaf of the phrase-book:
This little book is designed to help those who have some Irish but
who are not confident. It will enable them to prepare for many
predictable situations in which they could expect to use Irish,
particularly on visits to the Gaeltacht.
Ceapadh an leabhra'n seo do dhaoine ar bheaga'n Gaeilge. Cuirfidh
se' ar a gcumas re'iteach a dhe'anamh do o'ca'idi' inar do'igh leo
go dteasto'dh uathu Gaeilge a labhairt, go ha'irithe ar thurasanna
chun na Gaeltachta

Irish lessons have paused again as the more perceptive (hi keVin)
of you will have noticed. I'm on extended leave from my terminal
and will be for some time. I'm going to attempt getting a home
terminal in the New Year so this may again give me more time for
Celt activity.
RTE radio have started a lively new set of Irish languages in recent
weeks. It goes out on FM3 on Sunday mornings at 9:55 and is repeated
on Tuesday evenings at 21:30 on FM1. The program is called Cogar
and books and cassettes are promised at a later stage. I've been
taping it and can recommend it for its modern fresh approach.
