So no beginner may start any OT-thread or even understand what it's about? :?


I have to agree with you there May......I am a tad confused on how a person can learn when it is spoken without translation anyhoo...but I suppose I just wont be included in OT threads if that is what the rules are :-(


Ah, we're just yakking...nobody's made any rules. I think the general concensus is just that those of us who have some Irish should be using it more, and they're probably right about that.

I don't think seeing a little more Irish would be a bad thing for learners. It's a challenge to figure out what is meant. If entire threads were in Gaeilge it would be a different case, but a little more would be better for everyone.

In my opinion, I would like to see more Irish used. However, I would like to see the english translation under it too. Because most of the time I'm a lost puppy :P
Pleased to meet you, take my hand. There is no way back from here.

Just to make my views know, and re-afirm what most people have said already:

I don't think all OT posts should be as Gaeilge, but I do think that Irish should be used more often, taking advantage of the GA: post title. It isn't that there's too much English, just that there could be a bit more Irish. I will try and post more posts in Irish. 8)

Well, I'll try to slip in a little Irish, but I guess as much more correction will be needed then :oops:
Is maith an scáthán súil charad! :-)

I'm a beginner - please feel free to correct me and please wait for more input if I suggest anything ;-)

Tá mé ag foghlaim Gaeilge - níl mórán Gaeilge agam, ach tá mé ag déanamh iarracht í a fhoghlaim :D Image

what exactly does the Ga: title stand for? Gaeilge?

Yeh, at least, that's how I understand it. To be used for conversations that you want to be carried out entirely as Gaeilge.

Níl aon duine ag déanamh riailacha nua. Ach ní thuigim conas is féidir leat rudaí nua a fhoglaim má tá gach rud as Béarla! Agus ar an taobh eile den scéal, tuigim go bhfuil sé deacair rudaí fada a léamh as Gaeilge. Mar sin, beidh mé ag iarraidh gach rud a scríobh le leagan gonta as Béarla.

No-one is making new rules. My point is no-one's going to learn anything if everything is in English. On the other hand, swathes of Irish can be intimidating for learners. So, I'll be including consise summaries in English.
