Dia dhaoibh, a chairde go leor!

B� maith liom mise a chur in aithne daoibh.
Is Ruediger (Roidsear) an t-ainm at� orm agus is Ghearm�in m�. Ach chur m� �ire nam' chro�, agus b�onn m� ag foghlaim Gaeilge anois agus ar�s.
Thathn�onn cl�r-cinn seo go m�r liom, de bhr� go c�pla amhr�n go deas ann... ;)
N�l m�ran Gaeilge agam f�s, ach t� me ag foghlaim...

Sl�n go f�ill agus beannacht libh,

Chrisybhoy,
that's a pity, but I understand what you mean. I used to hate English because of it. Then, I realised English was the greatest instrument to communicate worldwide (and specially with Irish people). I forgot all about school teachings and learnt it on the internet, with a dictionnary on my lap.
With some luck, I might be a better teacher than those you had...

Something else about languages... Generally, the better you use a language, the more you get to love it. It's not really the language itself that people like, it's more what they do with it. I love French through literature, Italian through operas, English through communication and I'm not too fond of Spanish because I can't do much with it yet.

You taught yourself English?

Fuck sake!

You'll make a brilliant teacher then, coz your English is better than mines.

If only I could do that with Gaelic.

Roidsear, how long did it take you?

Mo chairde,

Hate French. And the only reason I hate it is because I did it in school. It's like a novel or a play. If your forced to read it, take notes on it and write about it, like in school, it kills it. It's even the same for Irish in school. Everybody hates it because it's compulsory. But if you do it out of your own interest, at your own pace and because of your own free will, then you enjoy it and learn it much better and faster.

Irish is great for screwin with the heads of Brits though. Talkin behind their backs while on holidays is always good. The best though is talkin to Brit soldiers on the "border" in Irish. My Dads fluent, and whenever we're passing through on the way up to Donegal its always good to pretend you can't speak the Queen's jibberish!

Pisses them off, so they insist on a search of the car...

..which is why you bring your dog in the back.

Fuckers.

Pity there ain't many checkpoints around anymore. Well...kinda...you know what I mean.

Ha! Fianna that sounds like a right good laugh. That'd be funny as fuck doin that to the Army.

I badly want to learn Gaelic cuz it'd be quality just being bi-lingual I think. My cousins all speak it in the South and its annoyin when they are talking away in Gaelic and I dont know what they're saying. Sometimes they tease poor lil me by sayig somethin then lookin at me and sniggering. :(

And Roidsear...is your Gaelic self-taught? Coz your fuckin good at it. I'd love to speak it as well as you can.

T�... d'fhoghlaim m� Gaeilge dom, le cunamh � idirl�on... anois agus ar�s... Ach b� mhaith liom m�ran Gaeilge a fhoglaim. Is f�idir liom scr�obh sa Gaeilge, ach n� f�idir liom labhairt Gaeilge go leor.
Rachaidh m� go h�irinn chom luath agus a t-�m 's airgead go leor agam.

Yep... I learned Irish by myself, with help from the internet...
every now and then... But I'd like to learn more Irish. I can write in Irish, but I can't talk good enough in Irish.
I'll go to Ireland as soon as I've got time and money enough.

Sl�n agat, a chairde!

Roidsear, how long did it take you?

Thosaigh m� a fhoghlaim Gaeilge an tsamhraidh bliain seo caite. Ach b�onn m� ag foghlaim G�idhlig (Gaeilge na hAlban)
le dh� bliain. Ach n� raibh f�idir liom labhairt no scr�obh m�ran sa G�idhlig.

I started learning Irish last summer. But I use to learn G�idhlig (Scots Gaelic) since two years. But I've never been able to talk or write much in G�idhlig.

Sl�n,

Ceart go leor! ;)

I heard from a pal living in Derry... his brother got in trouble
with the Garda� for driving too fast. When they asked him to wind down the window, he simply said:"N� thuigim!" (I don't understand.) ... so they had to call one who had Irish.
Furthermore, because this first encounter was held in Irish, the court had also to be in Irish.
Ok... The protestants in the Jury didn't have Irish, so they didn't understand a word... but the catholics did... so he was set free... ;)

Sl�n anois,
Roidsear

Hey people!

About the languages and school, I never learned any language at school, it was real shite so I agree with that. They never taught me to speak one, but to write correctly...

French is kind of second mothertongue to me (family & region) and I think I can speak English quite fluently, of course it's never the same as with your mothertongue. English-speaking people can hear I'm a foreigner. They tell me my English is good, so...
I could speak English before it was taught to me (TV mainly).
I think it's far better to learn a language in active way such as speaking, tv & internet. At school you just get fed up with it... Handy for the spelling, grammatics, etc. though...

I don't want to learn Gaelic (or to try at least) to much right now and the time I'll spend in Belgium. It could spoil my way of speaking it. Best is to be thrown in it while being in Eire, than you just have to learn Gaelic fast...
That's a bit my opinion about learning languages...

P.S. Some people can hear the typical French-influence "rolling rrrrrr" when I speak Dutch (Flemish) or English :rolleyes:
