Is mise Bo (moo!) agus tá mé i mo chónaí sa deisceart na Sualainne. Tá mé cúig bliana is daichead d'aois. Tá mé dífhostaithe faoi láthair ach is dócha a beidh mé ag déanamh staidéir ar an mBéarla sa choláiste sa Fhómhar, é sin nó dearadh grafach. Is breá an lá anseo inniu.

deisceart = southern part
dífhostaithe = unemployed

dearadh grafach = graphic design

I know there are some shy beginners out there who want to participate, but can't think of anything to do. You might:

1. Introduce yourself (see the first post in this thread for help).
2. Say where you live (see the first post in this thread for help).
3. Tell us what the weather is where you are (see http://www.erinsweb.com/gaelic2.html for help).

Tá mé i mo chónaí i gCondae Dhún na nGall.

Maith thú, Dunlaith.

One small correction: "Is grá leis beoir". In later lessons, we'll get into the details, but basically:

Is maith le __X__ __Y__ = __X__ likes __Y__.

le + se --> leis
