My heritage is Irish and I can’t speak or understand the language. I want to be able to speak and understand Irish before I visit Ireland. I’ve tried books, but the pronunciation doesn’t seem to be phonic. I speak German as well as English, but that doesn’t help. I’m told I have language skills, but with Irish, I’m lost. Are there any CDs that can teach the pronunciation in realtion to the spelling?

Léim gealt in airde ar bhus a sé déag inné
agus pitseámaí air – stríocaí liath is dearg orthu!
Shuigh sé síos in aice le fear a raibh babhlaer agus briefcase air!
Rugadh créatúr greim an duine bháite ar a bhriefcase!
Trí shuíochán síos uaidh chrosáil bean a cosa!
Rug máthair greim an duine bháite ar a páiste!
D’fhéach an páiste ar an ngealt!
Rinne an ghealt meangadh mór mantach gáire!

Labhair an tiománaí le fear an depot!
Labhair fear an depot le lucht 999!
Fuair sé lucht dóiteáin ar dtús is d’fhiafraigh siadsan de an raibh an ghealt i mbaol no tré thine nó in airde ar chrann – ní raibh!
Bhris fear dóiteáin an líne!
Ghlan an tiománaí sruth allais dá éadan!
“A Chríost,’ a scread sé – de chogar ar eagla go gcloisfeadh
gealt na bpitseámaí é – ‘cuir fios ar na bloddy Gardaí!”

Tháinig na Gardaí agus ghlanadar an bóthar amuigh i Ráth Fhearnáin!
Tháinig an t-arm is luíodar taobh thiar dá leoraithe, meaisínghunnaí crochta!
Tháinig na dochtúirí lena gcuid steallairí is le veist cheangail!
… Tháinig an bus!
Bhí fear an briefcase baiste ina chuid allais féin!
Bhí briste an tiománaí fliuch!
Bhí bean na gcos crosáilte fós coschrosáilte!
Bhí rúnaí a bhí le bheith in oifig mhór i Sráid Chamden
leathuair a’ chloig ó shin anois i Ráth Fhearnáin!

Bhí an páiste ag stánadh ar an ngealt!
Bhí an ghealt ag súgradh le cnaipí a phitseámaí
- é fós ag gáire go mantach!
…stad an bus!
…D’ardaigh an ghealt a cheann!
D’aithin sé dochtúir! D’aithin an veist cheangail!
Is é fós ag gáire léim sé suas agus rith sé amach an doras
isteach i lámha an dochtúra! isteach i veist a bhí gan lámha!

Istigh sa bhus phléasc osna faoisimh!
Níor labhair ach an páiste –
“A Mhamaí, cén fáth nach ligfeá domsa mo phitseámaí
a chaitheamh ar an mbus?”

anyone understand that?
translation loike lol
would be great if you could get back to me…

Is iomaí buaicphointí a bhí againn le linn na bliana. Ó thus na bliana ar aghaidh thug na daltaí faoin obair le díogras agus le dúthracht.

Is iomaí turasanna a rinne muid chomh maith agus seasann an turas go Dún na nGall agus an turas go dtí an Dáil amach in ár gcuimhne. Thug na daltaí faoin obair agus na heachtraí seo uile le dearcadh dearfach, cuma gealgháireach aghaidheanna. “Scoil gan dearcadh, Scoil gan anam” mar a deir ár bPríomhoide’ (its off my school website) if you could translate it email me the translation on amybartley@hotmail.com thanks, amy
