A chairde!

Bilingual pages

As Irish is not my first language, and because these pages are mainly designed
for people learning Irish, most of the information appears in English... at first!

Gradually, as time allows, I'll be adding English translations for the Irish text
and Irish translations for the English text making these pages bilingual (having
two languages on the same page) rather than having you click between English
and Irish pages (which is preferred by most fluent speakers of Irish).

New pages

Some of the new pages I'll eventually be adding include:

• Irish language lessons based on the beginners' classes in Sydney: Cúig nóiméad sa lá
• Craic agus cluichí: Irish-language games (card games, board games, puzzles, and so on) to download
• A guide to Irish spelling and pronunciation for beginners and advanced speakers (complete with terrifically tantalizing tongue-twisters!)
• Grammar notes and exercises for the lessons in Tómás Ó Domhnalláin's Buntús Cainte
• Grammar notes and answers for the lessons in Máiréad Ní Ghráda's Progress in Irish
• Leabharlann Albert Dryer: A detailed database of the reserve collection in the Albert Dryer Memorial Library located at the INA cultural centre (the home of Alma and an t-Athair Mícheál's intermediate Irish language class). 
• Basár na Gaeilge: A virtual marketplace to raise money (for the language classes and charity) for goods associated with the Irish language and culture, second-hand books, tapes, videos and CDs, souvenirs from events, charity auctions, and the like. 

Is mise le meas,
