I've lost count how many times I've listened to their covers. Here is their version of "Don't you worry child" (by Swedish House Mafia):
Ná bí buartha

Oops, it's nearly a month since last post! How is everybody doing? I hope you haven't given up! Maybe the silence means that everybody is studying.

My brief foray into reviving my super-rusty French has actually done great things for my
Irish. I came back from it ready to dive into Learning Irish, which had been a bit too
dense for me previously.

But also, it turned out to be a valuable and relevant experience to have revived enough
French to enjoy reading and understanding another language without any mental translation.
Having reawakened the skill of thinking in another language, the ability shifted seamlessly
into Irish as well. I've been catching myself reading in Irish without feeling like I'm
decoding... just so long as I'm familiar with the vocabulary and grammar involved, which
makes for a pretty limited scope, but still, it's an exciting transition!

So this past couple of weeks I've studied and done all the exercises associated with
Chapter 2 of Learning Irish, including the Nancy Stenson LI Workbook exercises, as well as
the textbook translations. Ove the past month I've gotten the first two chapters of Buntús
Cainte down solid, while chapters 3 & 4 are pretty comfortable understanding wise, though I
haven't refined my pronunciation yet re: broad & slender consonants. And I'm familiarizing
myself with chapers 5 & 6 (the early chapters seem to divide into logical pairs -- does it
stay that way?).

I'm still struggling with keeping a consistent time log, though. I forget to start my timer
as often as not, and some days I work in such interspersed snatches that it's hard to time
at all (e.g. doing grammar exercises while watching a basketball game).

Tuairisc.ie

A good, up-to-date site focusing a great deal on all thinks Gaelic.
