Just found a nice page of poems in Finnish, with English translations, by Risto Rasa.

It's a pity that Irish books are so expensive and exclusive. I will have to resort to unusual methods while learning Irish vocabulary... Maybe just going through a dictionary or making flashcards.

So I have not posted here for a while because I have been in Berlin. I have been studying so much, I learned roughly
700 German words last week. C2 is still a long way off however.

You're living the dream :) but don't you get frustrated for lack of being able to use
