Irish Translation Forum

But you already speak irish!! So do you think it is suitable for a beginner??

yes but i could hardly speak any last christmas when i got it

I have the Collins mini one as well. I have to admit it may not be as comprehensive as some of the other, more expensive dictionaries, but it has two advantages- A) it fits in me pocket and I can take it with me wherever I go, and B) it throws well at cats trying to get at me food

Seriously, though, it is usefull for those who already have some Irish, but you may want to get two or three others as well if'n you can afford them to round out if you don't have much Irish.

I really like mine, freisin! It's the Pocket Oxford Irish Dictionary. It's I-E/E-I with over 100K words, phrases and translations.

I have FGB & De BLfkeefefeijs..... also Irish Grammar from Christian Brothers. (forget the author, QM has it also)

I also have IOYO that I refer to a lot (the book) as it helps me see "real" words in sentances.

C

much Irish, hah, I have basically none. I will not be able to use it either as I am in a very remote area of British Columbia (bc rarely acknowledges the fact that Canada is a bilingual country!). There is a snowballs chance in hell of running into someone to converse with out here!!

But it amuses me!!

Well maybe soon the pressure will let up and we can get back to our Friday Nite Chats with Tadhg!! Just don't try to give him an apple again That was a grammar mess

Tadhg's doing well, just busy with research and lectures. I had sent him an email asking about an old translation he gave me.

Man, I hope it won't be til May before we see him back on the forum.

Haha, tis better to give than get!!
