Well here's the 'I'll teach you how to speak fluently just like me in only 7 months, or your money back guarantee' thread! (Carol's idea for a title!) ;D For all the people who want to learn to speak 'as Gaeilge' (Irish). I'll start with the basic phrases. Hello - Dia Duit Goodbye - Slan How are you? - Conas ata tu? I'm okay - Ta me ceart go leor I'm good - Ta me go maith I'm brilliant - Ta me ar fheabhas I'm not good - Nil me go maith I'm hungry - Ta ocras orm I'm thirsty - Ta tart orm I'm tired - Ta tuirse orm I'm scared - Ta eagla orm I'm happy - Ta athas orm I'm sad - Ta bron orm I'm angry - Ta fearg orm If there's anything else you want to know how to say let me know. |

Is aoibheann liom Gaeilge! I hear the Gaeltacht is supposed to be 'ar fheabhas ar fad' and it really helps you get better at speaking the language. Only thing is you have to be away from your family for three weeks. |

You know....I am such an idiot. Like before I saw your language, i used to think that Irish was exactly like English. Like if you live in England, you have the same language as in Ireland. Turns out, im a complete idiot!!! :$ |

Most people in Ireland would speak English as their first language (like me), but there are regions called the Gaeltacht that would speak Irish all the time. There are Irish-speaking schools too but for the rest of us, we would start learning our own language at the age of about six. |

Cad a dheanfaimid feasta gan adhmad? Ta deireadh na gcoillte ar lar; nil tracht ar Cill Chais na ar a teaghlach is ni bainfear a cling go brath. An ait ud a gconaiodh an deighbhean fuair gradam is neidhir thar mhnaibh bhiodh iarlai ag tarraingt tar toinn ann is an t-aifreann binn a ra. Translation: Now what will we do for timber, with the last of the woods laid low? There's no talk of Cill Chair or its household And its bell will be struck no more. That dwelling where lived the good lady most honoured and joyous of women Earls made their way over wave there and the sweet Mass once was said. |

That's a poem that was written in the 17th century, it's one of my favourites in Irish. I don't know why, to me there's just a certain beauty about the words. |
