I'm starting a log for TAC this year- hoping to achieve reasonable fluency in Irish. As I went through the Irish school system I have a basic level in the language already, just trying to give myself that extra push.
I also would like to keep up my Spanish and German, which I have made progress in over 2012. I would also like to build on my (very basic level) in another language. I have resources for Mandarin, Russian and French ready here- just trying to work out which I should put first. I was putting work into French before, because I worked for an NGO which works in Congo. But I've lost my job now, so I'm just going to pick the language I enjoy the most. Resources for Irish: Buntús Cainte and Turas Teanga - these are both aimed at beginners, but I still find them useful for revision. TG4, Radio Na Life and RnaG - I'm lucky enough to have access to these media outlets, so I'll be listening/watching a lot. Books, newspapers - I enjoy reading, so I'll be reading beo.ie and Gaelsceal plenty. Talking - I'm trying to find a Ciorcal Comhrá to practice with here in Dublin.

Right, after a fairly tough month personally and professionally, I'm now taking this bull by the horns!
Here are my goals for January 2013: Irish: Watch one Irish programme on TG4 per week. Listen to radio programming at least twice a week. Read 3 articles (newspaper/online) per week.Attempt to find a ciorcal comhrá. Spanish: Read three full short stories (from Short Stories in Spanish). Watch three Spanish language films. Speak on SharedTalk at least twice a week. German: More or less as Spanish, except I'll be using a different parallel text book, obviously. Russian: Finish two units in the New Penguin Russian Course. I also will try to source a Pimsleur/Michel Thomas course from the library. I'm also waiting on the delivery of my New Practical Chinese Reader textbook, which is very exciting altogether. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

¡Olé! Good to hear some fighting spirit when life starts getting tough. :)
I think TG4 is amazing, but I don't tend to listen to the radio or read newspapers so much. Which Irish radio channel or online sites would you recommend (especially for beginners like me)? 1 person has voted this message useful |
